Points of Interest

Pop's Barber Shop: Pop's Barber Shop was a small hair cutting business owned by Henry "Pop" Hunter. It was located in Harlem, New York City, New York. Pop opened the shop not only as a means of earning an honest living, but also for establishing a clean and friendly environment. He described his business as "Switzerland" - a neutral ground free of the gang violence that was persistently erupting around them in the neighborhood. Pop hired a man named Luke Cage to sweep up the floors at the place. One of Pop's oldest friends, Bob Fish, could frequently be seen playing chess near the storefront window. Pop maintained a rigid morality in terms of what transpired in the shop. Anyone who engaged in profanity or took the Lord's name in vain had to contribute money to his swear jar.
