20 years after 9/11, Dearborn market helps unify Arab community

Christopher Booker:

The spices from Syria, the sweets from Lebanon and nuts from Turkey can transport anyone walking through the doors of Hashem's Roastery and Market.

Sights and smells commonly found in the markets of Istanbul, Doha or Tehran, all coming from a shop in Dearborn, Michigan.

This is one of three locations in the Detroit suburbs. The original started in 1959 is in Lebanon.

And while the story of this family owned market has similar beginnings to other small businesses, in the last 20 years it's taken on a greater meaning for COO Adam Hashem.
