You Got the Silver, You Got the Gold...

This is another Irving Street photo. I'd guess that it's been a long time since this place actually bought silver, gold, and bullion - for the highest prices. It's always empty, a counter point to the buzzing Chinese hair salons on either side. The hair place on the left is where my kids get lickety-split hair cuts from middle aged Chinese women. Like all good sales people, they try to upsell: "Daddy also wan' haihcut? Luk like he need one," they purr. No thanks, it may be cheap, and good enough when the kids need a trim, but otherwise methinks not.
