Hydrant #8 [back up] [onward!]

mrs. k age: around 50 address: "about 15 minutes away" Monday, 23 September 4:00 p.m. Mrs. K runs The One Hour Dry Cleaner, between 48th and 49th on Brown Street. She doesn't live in the neighborhood, but spends 8 hours a day there, 6 days a week. She drives to work, and doesn't do much shopping or hanging out in Mill Creek. She doesn't go out to lunch in the neighborhood either; she packs her lunch because she is Korean and prefers to eat Korean food. Mrs. K is always working when she is in the neighborhood, so she doesn't have the chance to walk around much anyway. She says the area is not really too bad. The kids are okay -- except for the ones who throw rocks and break her windows at the store. She has owned the cleaners for 17 years. The building has been a cleaners for 40 years, and had only two owners before her family bought it. Mrs. K says she feels like a partof the neighborhood. She has watched a lot of the kids grow up since they were little and had runny noses. [4 routes]
