It's important to the community.

Ninety percent of the community is related to one side or the other.

We were visited by whites, who always found coming into the black community to be interesting. Some even found it exotic. They knew that some of our restaurants were superior to their own. One of the interesting things is that whites discriminated against blacks. Blacks never discriminated against whites, and so they were always welcome.

It is open to anyone in the community.

I think it's spectacular. It means a whole lot to the entire community.

Casinos are giving the community a bad image.
