Jose Hernandez prepares empanadas Wednesday afternoon at his bakery, Mi Tierra, on Atlanta Highway. Atlanta Highway has become the center of the Hispanic business community.
It’s just after the lunchtime rush at Perla Medrano’s ice cream shop, La Mejor De Michoacan, on Atlanta Highway in Gainesville. Outside, the smell of sugary sweet empanadas hangs in the air from the shop next door, El Carreton, which serves the delectable Mexican dessert in flavors like vanilla and pineapple. Inside, Medrano greets a group of teens.
