A Latino Bazaar

Today I visited a local bazaar that is adjacent to a thrift store and serves mainly the Latino community. This bazaar reminds me of another bazaar I visited during a business trip in Guadalajara, Mexico several years ago. For instance, salsa and merengue music are playing in the background; signs are written in Spanish and patrons are shopping or sitting around tables conversing with family and friends. The bazaar consists of 40+ vendors who are typically in an 8′x10′ to 20′x10′ space and offer a diverse range of products and services, such as jewelry, clothing, an Internet cafe, health and beauty products, music CDs, DVDs, religious candles and books, Quinceañera dresses, video games, cell phones, furniture, shoes, cameras and barbershops.

The following is a short video to give you a glimpse of this bazaar.
