oseph Omran gives credit where credit is due. His corner grocery shop, Le Beau Market, in the tiny San Francisco district of Nob Hill, has survived and thrived in its 27 years under Omran's ownership. He attributes the success adamantly to the continued support of the neighborhood and its denizens. "Without them," he says, "we would've blow away into the wind."
