Signs change however the hustle remains the same. What was once TWO FIVES now gets wiped down even on holy days.

Fresh scents and mirror-like rims roll through even when there isn’t a penny in business. Terms like this are offsetting to the work-a-day crowd but are worthy of exploration. It’s a choice, live by the commands of outsiders or opt for a simpler life governed by only your hunger.

Cleveland + Hair Special = Merry Christmas

Call & Post has gone through many transformations over the years. Under W.O. it was the voice of community. He was the defender, the fixer for, and most importantly the beautifier of his people. After him the paper became a trophy for those striving for status.

Nonetheless, 70s and 80s C&P still had a strong flex that is absent today. Numbers and after-hours news were featured in text, images and hand-crafted graphics.

It’s hard to say how the paper became what it is today, a notice for weddings and nonprofit comfort pitches. Our suspicion is that hustle dollars simply couldn’t compete with the Heavenly March of Jesus.
