QUESTIONS:

Why is it ironic that 'Italy Hair Design' exists
in a predominantly Asian community?

What does this mean?

Could it be that it is an Asian-operated business
catering to European hairstyles,
or is there any significance here at all?

Located in the heart of the city, the first neighbourhood
was part of an authentic foreign quarter known as the Ward,
where Jews outnumbered Italians,
and Chinese and Slavs also lived in considerable numbers."
