We’ve been here at Sco 77-78 in Sector 17D for quite some time now. Most people know this part of Sector 17 pretty well. Our shop is full of all sorts of cards and small things that people like to pick up for birthdays or just when they’re walking past. It gets busy on weekends, especially when the weather is nice and families are out in the plaza. We spend a lot of our morning just dusting the shelves and making sure the card racks are straight. Sometimes people come in just to browse and stay for a while, which is fine with us. We’ve seen kids grow up and come back as adults to buy things for their own children. It’s a bit of a local spot where you can find something quickly. We don't really have a big fancy office or anything, just the shop floor and a small back room for stock. The lights can be a bit bright, but it helps people see the details on the gifts. If you're looking for us, we are right there in the middle of the action. We handle everything ourselves, from opening the shutters in the morning to locking up at night. It’s a lot of work but we’ve gotten used to the rhythm of the city. We like being part of the neighborhood here. It’s just how things are for us every day. We usually have the radio playing softly in the background while we work.
