Gomez Barber Shop has been on Seventh St. near Academy Ave. for more than 50 years.
Edward Gomez Jr. says his dad, Edward Gomez, got to work Thursday around 7:30 a.m. and realized it was missing. It s just a barber pole to other people, but to us, that pole has been here since before I was even born, said Edward Gomez Jr.
Normally, people can tell they re open if the barber pole light is on outside of their shop, but Thursday morning when they got to work, it was gone.
