Casey sits down with Beth Brandon to talk about different immigrant experiences. We look into Moy Key a Chinese immigrant whose work in Indianapolis garnered the attention of Chinese royalty.  Then we dig into a fairly well-known community staple Shapiro’s Delicatessen and how this family business got its start and how it has stuck around through the years.
