New Same here
It also coincides nicely with a series they're running on the local NPR about the immigrant communities. In particular, the Asian community has grown like crazy in the last 10 years. There are apparently a lot of Asian markets centered around E 36th, and they're doing so well they're in negotiations with some new people to open a Mexican market. Yeah, immigrants to the immigrant neighborhood. I think it's time for a field trip downtown.

New Yes, that's the way they got started here.
Small stores that stocked specialty items for the local immegrant community and kept the price down (supermarket prices on specialty items are completely unafordable). The successful markets grew and started attracting the more adventurous white folks and other eths, and the markets grew more, still keeping the prices down, and the regular white folks started shopping there.

There's an even bigger multi-ethnic than Sunland Produce out in the far valley but I haven't had a chance to visit it yet.
