In January 2011, Greg along with his wife Naijha opened the Land of Kush in Baltimore’s Seton Hill neighborhood.

The menu features vegetable-based dishes such as yams, kale, and cabbage, along with barbecued “ribs” and vegan “crab-cakes'' which are actually made of soy protein and seitan wheat.

twelve (12) years ago at a textile factory in Westmoreland, where they both started
work after leaving school. The textile factory was the biggest employer in the area.
During these years they saved hard and finally bought their dream house-a four-
bedroom detached traditional bungalow. The house needed upgrading, so the couple

time.
The present situation
The textile trade was the main industry in the Western region. In the past few years,
however, factors such as high prices for cotton and declining orders from Japan and

the prospect of moving away to find work or being…

Privately owned Cirque du Soleil, started in 1984 by a troupe of stilt-walkers from nearby Baie-Saint-Paul in Quebec, reinvented the circus. Believing people worldwide were ready for something different to make them happy, they abandoned traditional acts such as lion tamers and bearded ladies. Instead, Cirque du Soleil offered dramatic, exquisitely choreographed shows marked by mystery and intrigue. Likewise, unlike traditional circuses, Cirque du Soleil targeted adults rather than children. Today, Cirque du Soleil is now one of Canada’s most important cultural exports, employing 5,000 people at eight permanent shows in Las Vegas and at 12 other troupes that tour the world. In 2017, Cirque du Soleil’s gross revenue was estimated to exceed Canadian $1 billion—it does not reveal its profits.
