I had tried looking for the referenced Food Lion 😂

But this phone has a small screen so I only took a quick shot

Thank you all. I got the wrong store. Giant.

*Business opens in bad neighborhood

*black people loot all the stores in their neighborhood

*stores close

*dumb look on everyone's face

'Defund the police" rally scheduled next weekend

"Why would they close the store?" THAT'S RACIST !

It’s a bad look right now. That store went in around 2006 to great fanfare. They need to be able to blame corporate greed.

Couple of years ago , after complaining about “food deserts”
they got a supermarket to open in Newark Central Ward aka The Hood

It boasted of a excellent produce section, butcher shop, well stocked shelves

All the media and politicians turned out for its opening

It closed year and half later as nobody in the neighborhood would shop there

So next time whine about “food deserts” remind them of this ......

-- "I know Google is off limits to most FReepers but it found this in .4 seconds...."

I use three different search engines, which also functioned quite the same. DuckDuckGo, IXQuick and Qwant. One seems quite like another, these days, and all function reasonably well.

It is amusing that part of the "news' is that the idiot mayor "is having conversations...." Leadership is lost to political; slant, political correctness and all.

A co-op in Dayton Ohio. The supposedly Food Desert ploy worked. Wonder how they address Shrink? Surely no one would rob their neighbor, right?
(I would like to compare deserts with them)

Shoplifting is a touchy subject. Might lead to charges of racism.

This store and other retail/ condo projects were started in the mid-00’s as DC gentrification expanded further and further east. Developers took over the NY Ave corridor (now a disaster) and other NE areas, and, needing cheaper land, went over the Anacostia River, thinking what is now will always be.

Wupes.

Obama and the Democrats know that high prices and food shortages historically cause revolution. It is all part of the plan to total chaos.

Black people could easily defend their own communities - and without Biden’s and his fellow ‘white liberal elites’ help. Elites aren’t keeping blacks out of chains.

That was such an insulting thing for Biden to say.

Biden and Sen Byrd were great friends and Byrd was a former KKK recruiter. That tells you most of what you need to know about Biden.
