Evidence note (master store)

Article fetched in full: 'In Harlem, I Like It Black stands firmly within the neighborhood's cultural lineage. The café celebrates Black excellence without softening its identity' — city (Harlem, New York) and the stored note confirmed claim-by-claim. The shop's own Square storefront was fetched but returned only a cart/checkout page, insufficient to upgrade to tier 2
