Congrats to the community for getting what they wanted. When all the fervor dies down, they may come to realize that a produce market isn’t a grocery store, and that their diets are unlikely to begin consisting solely of fruits and vegetables. The placement of this specialty market fails to address the problem of this area being a “food desert”. The residents will still need to travel for non-produce items.

This seems to be yet another example of an alderman’s ego overriding the true need of his constituents: an affordable, one-stop grocery store.
