Bel-Air Pawn Shop, located deep in the belly of south St. Louis, has everything a great pawn shop needs. It's big, and it houses an eclectic inventory — everything from the obligatory musical instrument and stereo equipment section to bicycles and televisions and a sizable selection of lawn mowers, leaf blowers and power tools. The sprawling, windowless warehouse of wants is a veritable boulevard of broken dreams — a place where someone else's hard luck or throwaway merchandise from another life practically begs to be snatched up as your treasure. Just don't expect to haggle.
