Go where the money is

Lucky us. We seem to have moved into the nexus of the grocery store universe. The forthcoming opening of a Trader Joe’s brings the number of grocery stores to which we can easily walk or bike to four. Baked goods, a deli, produce (organic and conventional), a coffee bar, and even free Wi-Fi. We’re surrounded by choices.

Meanwhile, one of the city’s neighborhoods most in need of help is reduced to looking forward to a sorry excuse for a real store or relying on the promises of a gambling operation looking to brown-nose their way into the city and take over land from the same disadvantaged population.

Some choice.
