Old Hong Kong - makers of venetian blinds ~I>
Another life-long business that has been surviving on the same spot for almost half a century.
The old couple, in their 70s / 80s, was seen selling (and installing) venetian blinds well before the present building on the adjacent lot was built.
In early 70s, the couple was facing a hard time when the former building this stall adhered to was being re-developed, hoarding erection along the lot boundary line of this service lane forced the business to continue in an awkward position.
The son of this couple was rather discontented with his parent's small business, leaving the couple to carrying on this trade on their own. May be for another 10 years....
Woven curtains, venetian blinds of all types and even old fashioned blinds with 2 inches wide slats are always available.
In April 2009, the old man had a stroke and become bedridden, temporarily ending half a century of his association with this alleyway.
