Charles Davis, 47, had been looking for a new business with his wife for six months before he asked the Lord to intervene.

“Lord, I’m going to sit still, and you tell me where to go,” he prayed less than a month ago.

The next day, he logged onto Craigslist and saw a listing for a burger joint down the street from his home. He went to check it out the next day.

When his wife, Kizzie Davis, 35, saw the kitchen, she was sold. They finally found it.

They spent a week inside Ferguson Burger Bar and More on West Florissant Avenue to see how it ran.

Charles Davis brought a cashier’s check for almost $35,000 on a Friday morning to seal the deal with the owner, Lamont Slater. Slater handed them two sets of keys.

On Saturday, Michael Brown was shot.

Tucked inside a strip mall with a nail shop, beauty supply store, boutique and barber shop, the Burger Bar gets a fair amount of foot traffic. Three tables line either side of the store with a counter up front for orders. The walls, bright lime green on one side and mossy green on the other, are punctuated with yellow trimmed chalkboards displaying menu specialties such as the Single Garbage burger and Bacon Double ranch. The walls are scattered with printouts of inspirational sayings like this one: “If ‘Plan A’ didn’t work, the alphabet has 25 more letters. Stay cool.”
