Hannaford is one of those companies that is inevitably going to be absorbed by one of the larger retail super market corporations. Demoulas Brothers will go first, and them later Hannaford. It is all part of some plan that is not good for working people.
I am surprised that Hannaford has lasted this long as an independent enterprise. Perhaps the execs there are just excercisng their very last bit of influence.
Well it looks like the Hannaford Grocery chain will be big on selling "Fruits" I guess.
Here's one for the list.

I stopped at a Bellevue Washington Kid Valley Hamburger restuarant today and thumbed through a copy of the "Seattle Weekly" that was on our table. This is a local area leftist entertainment newspaper. I Could not believe my eyes at what was in it....READ ON
HOMO A GoGo Highlights
By Jimmy Draper
“One of the great things about having [this] in Olympia is that the whole downtown area is small, and there’s not a lot to do, so everyone sort of sticks around the Capitol Theater, which is the main venue,” says Homo a GoGo founder Ed Varga. “It really feels like queers have taken over.”
As the city’s second biannual celebration of gay-made film, art, culture, and music— including a “surprise” performance by folk lezzies the Indigo Girls, a one-off reunion by queercore icons Team Dresch, and the solo debut of Heatmiser and No. 2’s Neil Gust—the indie festival is expected to attract upward of 1,000 attendees and, in the process, transform the state capital into a makeshift mecca of pro-homo activity.
Varga consciously planned the event around various elements of DIY culture. “I really wanted to do something that was more class-conscious, without some corporate consumerist message behind it,” he says, adding that the festival is a benefit for Olympia’s Gender Variant Health Project, a nonprofit organization devoted to trans health care issues. “I just wanted Homo a GoGo to have a truly queer, alternative focus.”
The festival crams everything from karaoke and various workshops to visual art exhibits and film screenings into six days. Music remains the biggest draw, however. The side project of San Francisco’s Will Schwartz, Willpower finds the Imperial Teen singer-guitarist indulging his TeenBeat pinup fantasies with enough infectious dance pop and group choreography to qualify him as the indie world’s own Justin Timberlake, while Olympia rap duo Scream Club use rudimentary, L’Trimm-cribbed electro to dance their mess around old-school riot-grrrl rhetoric like, “We’re gonna get rid of Bush and nominate bell hooks for president.” Leaving behind her Tigerbeat6 bandmates in Dynasty, thespian rocker Jibz Cameron goes it alone in Dynasty Handbag with an irrepressible one-woman show that’s equal parts performance art, high-drama laptop pop, and karaoke run gloriously amok.
In spastic rap troupe Hawnay Troof, Bratmobile’s Allison Wolfe and others join Chris Touchton for an exhilarating pro-aerobo workout that’s all about getting off by any means necessary (cf., “All I Want Is Yr Clit,” “All I Want Is Yo Dik”). And, at least at their excessively wild hometown gigs in San Francisco, Veronica Lipgloss & the Evil Eyes’ decadent dance rock lives up to song titles like “Deep Interactions on People’s Lips,” inspiring nude crowd surfing and boy-on-boy B@&$ jobs on the dance floor.

What do you expect from a state that thinks Snowe and Collins are Republicans?
We rented a cottage in Main a few years ago and the only grocery within miles was a Hannaford. One visit was enough. I begged my husband not to make me go back to that dirty store.
Aren't there Hannaford stores in New Hampshire and Mass. too?

I'd have to guess that 'intersex' means 'in the process of gender change'. Going either M->F or F->M, but not quite there yet.
'Questioning' means 'unsure, therefore ripe for recruitment'.
