I love Los Compadres and Paws and Claws too (even if we don't have any pawed or clawed animals). A lot for me has to do with what's being sold (in particular food)....and really about the people. The owners of my 2 favorites are really engaging, personal, care about and committed to the neighborhood and their own business - seeing and getting the connection and integration between individual business and the wider community. There's a lot of places in the Dimond that either don't get that, don't want it, can't do it, or just don't care. Of course I think it's a pattern repeated everywhere not just in the Dimond.Montehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241568086581773981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34831955.post-984044851524222212009-02-08T07:01:00.000+01:002009-02-08T07:01:00.000+01:00hey, saw your blog through my sister's.

We always have thought that place seemed shady...we've seen several fueds there, and seems like the family lives there too. They had a 3-yr old kid handing out flyers for them at oktoberfest- seemed weird (PLUS, they spell Dimond, Diamond). The stores we like are peets, la farine, 1/4 pounder, dimond beauty salon (esp. stephanie), farmer joes, la jalesience (they closed), club 2101, the indian place, the meat shop, nama... we like when we make a personal connection somewhere and the vibe feels friendly.Rebecca Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997079423101690956noreply@blogger.com
