Koko Market on Eastern
I've driven by Koko Market on Eastern Avenue a hundred times at least, but never paid attention. Stopped at the light today, I realized that the Arabic spelling is a direct transliteration of the words "Koko Market" rather than a translation. I was on the wrong side of the light, so I couldn't read any of the products that were written in Arabic, but when the light changed and I accelerated, I caught the first word, which I believe was "lehem" meaning meat. Beef or lamb, not chicken.
Must check the hours of operation next time I go by. I'm not sure if it is a market that specializes in Middle Eastern products or what, although I assume that's likely. I'm kind of surprised by its location, though, because I hadn't realized there was a significant Arabic population in Dundalk. If asked, I would assume that neighborhood was mostly native Baltimoron (mix of race and ethnicity) with some Latino immigrants.
