Knew the street but the shop was in a church basement several blocks off my usual route. Turns out the place is a non-profit community outreach shop in the church, teaching kids to work on bikes and selling things, and it was started by this guy in the name of a late friend who dreamed of opening a place like this, a guy with whom I used to work so I'm calling this the Joe-op. Here's what I found.
