No prepackaged, prepared or convenience foods. No deli or bakery, no candy, gum, cookies, soda or grape drank of any kind. No frozen heat and eat meals, or junk food. No paper towels, dog food or "health and beauty aids". And especially no cigarettes.<br /><br />Just healthy, wholesome foods with which to prepare nourishing meals. Nothing else. You want a bag of chips? Walk down to the bodega and fork over $5 in cash. You need paper towels? Buy them elsewhere.<br /><br />Kind of like a generic farmer's market. Quality food, in its most nutritious form, ready to take home and cook. They don't need "convenience" food, they have all the time in the world, and they should use it productively.<br /><br />I can't imagine a mob breaking in and running out with an armload of fresh broccoli, apples and oatmeal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-77661380450094088512015-09-22T19:52:57.149-04:002015-09-22T19:52:57.149-04:00A relative managed one of the last major grocery s...A relative managed one of the last major grocery stores to close there.

But th...I am against corporate welfare of any kind. But the "personal property tax" is absurd to begin with. I'd like to see it abolished entirely. <br /><br />The natives attract the type of businesses that can profit from their lifestyle. A ghetto grocery store can only withstand so many flash mob-and-robs, looting sprees, armed robberies and shoplifting thefts, before it has to go elsewhere.<br /><br />Since they need everything else dictated to them, perhaps a commissary-like facility should open there instead. One where the customer hands the clerk their shopping list and their Dependence card, behind bars and bulletproof glass, and they fetch the items for them in a single order. Like grocery stores used to be, a hundred years ago.
