Anybody that introduces themselves as a “community organizer” should get a punch in the mouth right off the bat.

What? Trader Joe’s isn’t giving in to extortion from the NAACP? What’s this world coming to?

"The company selected two acres along Martin Luther King Blvd. that had been vacant for decades"... I guess you cannot fix stupid afterall...

They would rather have a vacant lot than a nice retail grocery such as Trader Joe’s. The activists have made their choice. They prefer blight over a business which is not a black business.

You bet!...Why hell...the name Trader Joe sounds racist!
To: inkling
Wait, now that they decided NOT to open a store
they will be labeled........racis.

Maybe if the store was named Trader Lavonne?

In other words, Trader Joe’s didn’t want to pay up in order to do them a favor

Just another Al Sharpton hustle.
They wanted to hold-up Trader Joe’s for cash payments and other concessions in exchange for just peacefully going away.
They did the same thing to the new hockey arena here in Pittsburgh (and now have their knickers in a twist because they aren’t getting everything they thought they would)

Can't have a Trader's Joe on MLK Blvd., that is reserved for crack dealers and prostitutes!
To: Howie66
Just a bunch of communist change agents...period. And they should be called that...just as McCain should have in the debates.

What a shame. I’m a big fan of Trader Joe’s. They don’t have everything I want but I can always depend of them to give me a better product at a lower price than say Pavilions or Ralph’s -

Anybody that introduces themselves as a community organizer should get a punch in the mouth right off the bat. 60% of the country needs an "attitude adjustment".

Yea, why have a store that would be convenient for the area and also provide jobs be of any interest when they can have an empty lot.

I find many communities would rather have ugly abandoned lots than a functioning store. Reminds me of the “No WAWA” signs all over PA every time the company announces it wants to open a new convenience store. It is ridiculous.
