This is a very good example of the sociological theory of ecological succession/invasion-succession theory.

Now the market is owned by Korean-Americans. And btw, it and the other market at 4th and E. Capitol on on the NE side of the street, show how corner stores can be responsive to communities and neighborhood needs and be successful, and even provide fresh produce.
