Facing The Digital Divide At Bostons Cash-Only Shops

BOSTON, MA - JANUARY 30: A barber shop on Bowdoin Street in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston is pictured on Jan. 30, 2018. Immigrant-owned hair salons and barbershops dominate the small business scene in the Bowdoin/Geneva area of Dorchester. Most of them are cash only operations that may not survive gentrification pressures if they can't expand their customer base. The nonprofit Bowdoin Geneva Main Streets is hoping to close the "digital divide" by using grant funding to connect the hair salons and barbershops with Square register programs.
