So the remedy to fixing the food desert problem is closing down a 7-11? By the miracle of magical thinking, the organic coop grocery store is going to sweep in and fill that empty store front?😂😂

The loitering in front of that store existed long before the 7-11 existed. No matter what store you open there the homeless will congregate in front of it.

Fruit house on broad street has good produce and is much needed in the area: I try to go there vs Whole Foods!

I wonder how long they'll stay in business. I hope they do. I go there occasionally but rarely see people in there. Reminds me of Markit that opened on Broad Street just past Broad Street Station maybe 10 years ago. I think they survived a year before closing...

?uestion Mart. Last I knew, the signs were still up.

I liked that store, but they seemed to have trouble keeping the things you'd need in stock.

I'm pretty sure they've been open a little more than a year.
