| Craig Joseph Sr., Owner - Houston's This Is It |
It has been located on West Gray in the midtown area for most of that time. Back in July Joseph decided to move his business to the Third Ward on Blodgett.
He says, "it's discouraging because I moved here to help revitalize the Third Ward." That effort by the African American business owner was met with a slap in the face.
The Insite has learned the business started by Joseph's grandparents was burglarized at 3 am Monday morning.
Joseph says the suspects were three Black males in their early twenties. They came in through a door by popping a lock with a crow bar. They trashed a cash register they thought had money and ran off in a matter of minutes with a flat screen television instead.
Joseph says it's difficult being victimized by his own people after moving into the community he wanted to help.
Here's the good news: surveillance cameras were rolling on the whole incident. The Insite will keep you updated!
Thats a damn shame! Thank goodness the crack heads left the turkey necks for lunch the next day.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that this happened to Mr. Davis. This is dishearten that those boys would do this. When will "we" learn to support our own and not to steal from them?
ReplyDeleteThis is truly sad. I am aware of several other similar incidents that have occurred in this immediate recently. Other business owners have been victimized as well, but no one seems to have ever been caught. These businesses include Esquire Lounge (Dowling) The Spot Lounge (Dowling) TK's Sports Bar (OST) and just last night 2 suspects backed a car into The Southmore Market and stole the ATM machine. HELP FOR 3rd WARD PLEASE! I live in the community...
