If you’ve been on Martin Luther
King Boulevard in the last 8 months
you have alm ost undoubtedly
passed by Miracle’s Café. Launched
in November, the small soul food
restaurant located on 4200 N.E. Mar­
tin Luther King Blvd. is becoming a
go-to spot for many across the city.
Kim Leeman, a former mayor of a
small-town in Oregon where “ev-
eryone-knew-everyone,” she says
she never expected to own a soul-
food restaurant.
Recognizing the increasing ex-
pansion happening in the neigh­
borhood, she saw an opportunity
and opened Miracles.
“We want to make sure that there
is always somewhere reasonable to
eat and that there is a place to get
actual, real, soul-food,” she said.
Lonnie Herring who oversees all
recipes that come into Miracles has
one theory to why people seem to
be flocking to the restaurant which
is still in its fresh m an year,
“ ....[thejdown home cooking, ev­
erything is made from scratch, ev­
erything is fresh,” he says.
Leeman is committed to making
sure the food at her restaurant
rem ains fresh too. S h e’s even
gone as far as to go out and per­
sonally pick berries for the pies
served at the eatery.

Part 32. A ssociated Pain
Dr. Billy R. Flowers
: Is my leg pain related to
my recent back injury?
\ : Sharp pain radiating from
you back down one leg can be a
result of a pinched nerve in the spine.
Herniated discs and bone spurs are
two of the most pinched nerve in the
spine. Disc in the spine function like
shock absorbers; and they can be­
come damaged from an injury or nor­
mal use.
Your leg pain is likely related to a
problem in your lumbar spine, although
it is hard to pinpoint exactly what trig­
gered your pain. You might have had a
pre-existing condition made worse by
a recent injury. The good news is this
type of pain often resolves on its
own or with chiropractic treatm ent.
If the pain lasts longer than a few
weeks, or if you have noticeable
weakness in your leg or foot, talk to
a doctor about getting an MRI.
