^ I fear the same happening to Devon Ave, which would really be sad because Devon is a recognized name in the South Asian community--all over the US.
However, as of right now there is still a flow of immigrants to West Ridge, although it isn't really the same group that was arriving in the 70's and 80s. Now I suspect it's more Hyderabadi (and perhaps Pakistani?) Muslims, as well as some people from African countries. So the transformation of Devon from Hindu Indian to a more predominantly Islamic corridor that has long been underway continues unabated.
Most of the Hindu (ie "Indian") Indians have moved towards shopping in the suburbs, where there are far more convenient options.
