A beloved South Shore spot, Mama Africa’s Marketplace, is fighting to stay open as a new buyer prepares to take over its building—right as the Obama Presidential Center is set to open nearby. For years, this shop has been more than a store: it’s been a hub for classes, food drives, and cultural events. Now, with back rent, unpaid taxes, and investors circling, neighbors are scrambling to keep it alive. As the neighborhood braces for big changes, how do we protect spaces that make South Shore feel like home? What would you miss most if Mama Africa’s closed? #Business #LocalBusiness #SouthShore
