Assignments for The BURG: 2022

Hauson “Chops” Green

April, 2022

“Green works out of Heads Up barbershop on N. 6th Street—a family-owned business for 46 years currently owned by his uncle James Cheatham.

It’s close to both the Camp Curtin YMCA and the Nativity School of Harrisburg. That location gives him a podium to reach the youth. He opens his shop at five in the morning, staying open till at least six each night, so he can be there for school kids to come in.

When he doesn’t have someone in the chair, he’s out on the street corner, talking to whoever comes by, keeping his eyes on the neighborhood. The kids know he’s there, and they know he’s watching.”
