I watched something about a women's business orginazation that has the goal of moving more up-scale business to that area. The main focus was a wine store that was owned and operated by an African American woman, who used to be a stock broker I believe. No burglar bars, no little booth for sales. Wood everything and wine tastings open to the community.
