Yes, the prices for staples like yogurt, beans, and plantains were very reasonable for a small store-  A real people's neighborhood market.

You make another good point.  What if the big businesses don't want us anymore because of the economy?  Penn is a big business.  It wants other big businesses with big pockets to replace the small businesses in the neighborhood.  But if the stormtroopers close all the small businesses without replacements lined up, the neighborhood will look like Berlin after the war.

Maybe we should beg Penn/L&I to have some big businesses lined up before anymore small businesses are whacked.  Thoughts?

I'd be very surprised if Wawa ever opens another store in the city.

And a Wawa would be cool but it's a small space. Wawa Express? ;)

Be a sarcastic as you want, but I wouldn't mind a Wawa within walking distance of 49ty & Baltimore...
 
Also... I didn't even know there was a cafe at 45th & Baltimore.  Does it have a name?

"Don't worry, Ruth's Chris Steak House is hardly likely to open up there."
The vision places Ruthies cow at the old O'Haras.  45th and Baltimore is a Starbucks destination, silly.  And if we're lucky, we'll get a McDonald's where the People's market got whacked. 
It's all in the vision, man.  We, of the district, need to focus on paying our BID tax and allow the shock and awe storm troopers, L&I , a brief respite to catch up on their donuts.
The vision is divine!
Glenn of the district

Hi,

The little café on Baltimore between 45th and 46th is closing for a month.
She is looking for someone to take over for a few months and might end up
closing.

Does anyone know a small business person who is interested in keeping it a< br> neighborhood café rather than walmarting it with $15 martinis?
