BREAKFAST AT THE WAFFLE SHOP, COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, WASH. D.C.

This is Bernardino from Honduras. He is an electrician working on the renovation of the Tivoli Theater on 14th and Park NW. He was enjoying a light breakfast of coffee and a tamale. We all talked about the violence in the area lately with the help of my friend and translator M. E. Sprengelmeyer, a Scripps Howard News Service journalist. He translated for me. "Th' marijuana an coca," was Bernardinos guess for the recent outbreak in latino gang violence in the Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights neighborhoods.

Took this photo in an alley connecting Kilbourne with Lamont in Mt. Pleasant. Was walking to eat some good Salvadorian breakfast in Columbia Heights at the Waffle Shop. Met my friend Sprengelmeyer there. Not what you would expect of a place called the Waffle Shop! This place is a real experience, worth rough alley walking. (Ha)
