In a rapidly gentrifying Jersey City, NJ, Stroberi aka Pelao Jr, the young owner of the last bodega in Jersey, has a decision to make by end of day: sell the family business or continue serving the remaining community in need. But when a local news station stops by to cover, "The Last Bodega in Jersey," his internal decision becomes a spectacle as the vecindario shows up one after another reminding him of how wild, random, & hilarious--yet beautifully deserving & precious--the community can be. Sell the store for $250,000 or remain open? It's Stroberi's choice to make. This book is a collection of Latinx short stories, chisme, and more that take place in and around the bodega--the ghetto lighthouse of community. In Volume I, author Abel Veloz attempts to remind the vecindario, to include those that were forced out, that our communities are worth cherishing and holding on to.
