The single barber chair in the shop is from the 1930's and this seems to be where the soul of the shop has remained. It is a place where you can sit for an hour, leave for a year and all has stayed as it was. It is a place where haircuts are still five dollars, three for seniors and students or any of the men from the adult homes in the neighborhood. It is a place where the barber still does house calls. A shop with a sound track of opera and a cast of characters to beat any show on Broadway. For this is the heart of the shop, the people who pass through, to and from their lives, to share a piece with those who will listen. Mr. Green's is a place that stands for something more, something that when it is lost, so it will seem is the soul of this country.
