It's about time the residents of this area have choices other than Twinkies and Mars Bars.

A local business operator plans to convert a former Walgreens store, at the northwest corner of N. King Drive and W. North Ave., into a neighborhood supermarket that would include a deli and produce section.

The supermarket would use 12,125 square feet left vacant when Walgreens moved out of the 34,486-square-foot retail center two years ago to a new stand-alone store, at 2826 N. King Drive. The grocery store would be operated by Anup "Andy" Khullar, who operates several Andy's gasoline station/convenience stores in the Milwaukee area

1. Very telling that "a produce section" in the inner city is big news.

3. Yes, 'telling' and horrific.

2. Stories like this used to be in the gossip section

Now it is headline news.

The other day here in the Cleveland area, the local news started off with the headlines and mentioned something about people being run over at a McDonald's, more after the Dancing with the Stars details. They spent 5 minutes on DWS and 1 1/2 minutes on the incident accident.

4. That wasn't an accident it was intentional.

Be that as it may, yeah our media is 80% of the problem. Dancing with the Stars? Really?

5. True it wasn't an accident - misquoted that one

But yes, they are obsessed with Dancing with the Stars.
