This is a tiny mosque community. When I was there there were maybe 30 brothers present. It's located in a basement space in a small strip mall. When I walked down the stairs I was suprised to find such a small masjid and no sisters. But the brothers were very warm and welcoming and offered me a clean, decent sized room to pray in - I think they usually use it for storage and as a coat room. When it was time to break fast someone brought me a plate of yummy appetizers and a cup of juice. For iftar, again someone brought me a plate - this time fried chicken and fries. I didn't really interact with any of the brothers. They gave me my space. But as I said before they were very welcoming and considerate of me all the same. I don't know whether this mosque is only for one ethnic community - I don't even know whether this is a Sunni or Shia mosque. If I were a brother and lived in this area, I might consider attending this mosque. How we treat strangers is really important.
