If one were to drive west on Lorain Road in North Olmsted, past Great Northern Blvd., you would encounter most, if not all, of the commercial attributes of Suburban America. The Wendy's and the Chipotle.

Obai Abu Farha, 28, operates the oven at Fire and Dough, a Palestinian bakery that opened up in October, seven days before the start of the Israel-Hamas War.

"I’ve been here two years and have gone to six ribbon cuttings on that street," Max Upton, the head of North Olmsted's Economic & Community Development Department, told Scene recently."I think that they found community here, a good quality of life. A welcoming city." Eman Muontaser, owner of Iman Le Elegance, a wedding clothing boutique. Muontaser said that having her shop off Brookpark Extension allows her to tap into a natural sense of community. And good market opportunities."I studied the demographic," she said, with a smile.

And not just because of the center's promise to host Arabic courses for kids. Beit Hanina vows, its directors said, to host about"two to three" Palestinian engagement celebrations a week. that's related to weddings, I do," she said."We try to work on lifting the load from the parents, especially the mother."

Like neighbor Muontaser, Wishah opened his Nut Shop in 2022 bolstered by both the market need and a pressing itch for community. He also witnessed friends drive to New Jersey or New York to buy the celebratory foods the coffee beans — the chocolates and the nuts — to take home to Cleveland.
