Pawnshops and How We Opened Our Own
I do not remember how my husband and I got on the conversation of owning our own Pawnshop. It may have been on the day we were arguing about what to do about a building we had bought.
The previous owners of this building had left behind a lot of junk. This junk, as my husband called it, was just too good to throw out. So, I had a big garage sale-that is what they are called in our area. After the first day, I flashed the wad of money I had made in my husbands face. He changed his mind real quick about what was junk and what was not. You can get a link about our history at: We Sell It All Dicker & Deal Here .

In Difficult Economic Times, People Tend To Do What They Must To Make Ends Meet
Pawnshops have the bad rap of taking advantage of people that are down on their luck. But if you really look at the whole picture, pawnshops are doing a great service to those that just need a little help over the rough spots. The title and subtitle of this module is a quote from the Chicago Tribune. You can read the whole story here: Chicago Tribune-6-19-08 Pawnshops: A Popular Place During Tough Times
The Pawnbroker (1965)
Starring: Rod Steiger, Geraldine Fitzgerald
Based on a novel by Edward Lewis Wallant, this gritty story follows Sol (Rod Steiger in a breakout performance), a lonely camp survivor who has dealt with the destruction of his family by suppressing all emotion and cleaving to the philosophy that nothing matters except money. (His bedridden and dying friend Mendel describes him, to his face, as "the walking dead.") Sol cannot accept the friendship of his assistant, Ortiz (Jaime Sanchez), or of an equally lonely widow (Geraldine Fitzgerald). As the 25th anniversary of his wife's murder approaches, he starts to fall apart, and it becomes clear that what he really wants is to die. The film was considered shocking when first released, both because of its rawness and because of brief nudity. Time has made some of the dramatic touches seem melodramatic--especially the corny "blood on my hands!" final scene. But Steiger's performance is still remarkable, and, even after MTV, the sudden-flashback editing is a forceful technique. A high point of Sidney Lumet's career. Black and white, with lots of atmospheric trumpets by Quincy Jones. --Richard Farr
