Rest In Peace Me Al. I remember the first time I ever saw Mr. Al. My son and I were in the store on Louisiana Ave. My son was about 3 or 4 years old. He was acting out in the store and Mr. Al made him get off the floor. He stood at attention and didn´t move for a while. Mr. Al told me I´d better have another child because this one is too spoiled. My son is 43 years old now, and my son used to live right next door in the back of Mr. Al. Missed those days when the Village helped raise your kids
