“I’m over it at this point. I’m over it,” said Cousar.
Cousar said she chose to open up her shop in the retail space under the apartment complex on that street two years ago to help bring life to the Sweet Auburn community.
“They did a lot with it,” said Cousar. “There was a lot of traffic. I felt like it was a good area.”
Then, this Spring, she said, the burglaries began.
Each time, the people who broke inside left shattered glass, broken doors and empty shelves.
