My core values of what makes a Nation great is based on what I consider to be the most important aspect of Business in our Communities. The Mom & Pop Shops are getting squeezed out. Gigabyte Industry like Amazon, and Mega Box Stores like Walmart have driven many Independent Operating Businesses out into next to non existence for availability.
Please consider adding Mom and Pop shops that you know of in the comments. I will review them and add them to the mix if they meet my criteria.

El Sabor de Puebla
Independently owned Mexican Food Restaurant. The decor isn't over the top. Very basic. But the food is amazing and you leave very satisfied. This Mom & Pop shop does not even have a website! but they are constantly busy during the lunch and dinner hours. I highly recommend waiting until the East High School Lunch hour is over. They get so busy that you have to wait to pay your bill!
