A few blocks south of where I live, there’s a Vietnamese commercial community: nail salons, beauty supplies, several restaurants, and a specialty grocery that attracts lines of cars every weekend. It all looks very interesting and prosperous. The local Chamber of Commerce features this as a prime attraction.
As I drove by yesterday, I wondered if — maybe — in several years there may be an Afghan community somewhere in Chicago. Exotic, vibrant, and featured by the locals as an interesting addition.
There is a good Afghan restaurant on Dempster Street in Evanston: https://www.kabulhouse.com/
