So you build a supermarket every other block? Seriously? How stupid is this study period. The last major supermarket in our rather small city closed up and left not long after the riots in the 60’s-70’s. At least 6 other small independents have tried opening a standard size grocery store in the same area over the past 30-40 years all to fail and be run out........

1 mile to walk is nothing. Get a pull along wheeled grocery bag

Ours is fine, but you have to go early in the morning (they are open 24 hours); otherwise, it fills up with Newark residents.

Yeah, well, shoplifting and looting will do that.

One in four Baltimore residents live in 'food deserts' of their own creation.

I took public transportation 5 miles to get there.

Effort is not a strong suit of the EBT class.
