This is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my neighborhood since I moved in! Big hooplah this morning from the Mayor and all the city big-wigs. This was a nasty old shopping center built back in the 60s. Hopefully this will be a grassy field by end of summer. WooHoo!
The bad news is this was a grocery store. And it was about 200 yards from my front door. Gone are the days I could run over to my own personal 'bottomless pantry' in the middle of making dinner to get that one ingredient I thought I had in house. This seems to be a trend about town lately. It concerns me that so many grocery stores are going under. Raw ingredients for prepping a healthy meal are becoming harder and harder to come by.
I'm sure they will be replacing this with a bank, even though the big push to go on line with all banking transactions. They sure are throwing up a bunch of brick and mortar. Or maybe a cleaners, in spite of the fact our world is becoming more and more casual. Surely they will throw in a fast food restaurant or two. Yeah, hamburgers and tacos instead of a home cooked meal. Now we're cookin'! .... well, no we're not.
