Summary: "Used to be a church right here," Jamiel Robinson says, nodding toward a storefront on South Division in Grand Rapids. "Yeah?" I say, eyeing the business. "Now they do tattoos. Ain’t the same at all." "It’s not the same." We're standing at the corner of Division and McConnell. Next to us is a gray, boarded up building Robinson’s grandfather once owned. It had a barbershop, a candy store, a pool hall and apartments upstairs. But it was old and needed repairs. In 2005, Robinson’s family sold it.
