B.J. Adams runs a mobile grocery store in Memphis, Tennessee. It’s a store that is literally an 18-wheeler.
“I love to serve people. And with this mobile unit, it’s creating an atmosphere where I serve,” Adams said.Roshun Austin, who runs The Works, a nonprofit that focuses on affordable housing, said many neighborhoods don't offer basic amenities like grocery stores.
The story of inner-city Memphis is far too common. The “white flight” of the 1970s took money and diversity out of the city. Resources left as did so did many with the means to go elsewhere. “So many people don’t have transportation. Buses don’t run like they used to in our neighborhood. You know, our village is broken," said Memphis resident Vera Harmon.
