I run my business out of Padra, which is a nice town to be in. My shop is located very close to the police station. It’s a good landmark to use when I’m telling people how to get here. Being near the station means there is always someone around, so it feels very safe and active. I’ve been in Padra for quite a while now. I started out in a much smaller space, but I eventually moved here because I needed more room to breathe. The building is older, but it has some character to it. I didn't do much to change it when I moved in, just gave it a good cleaning and brought in my equipment. I usually start my day by sweeping the front step and checking the mail. It’s a simple routine, but I like it. People in Padra are friendly, and I get a lot of locals coming in just to say hello or ask a quick question. I don't try to act like I'm some big company. It's just me and maybe one other person helping out on the busy days. We do our work, we talk to our customers, and we go home. There aren't any complicated processes here. I keep things straightforward and honest because that's how I was raised. If you're in Padra, just head toward the police station and you'll find me.
