[RP TownTalk] food co-op

[Drena J. Galarza]

i'd have to say i'm on board with the food co-op.  although i understand how appealing the shiny giants and safeways are...  there is a market in rp for a small town grocery store.  i think if it were modeled after the greenbelt co-op instead of ss/tp, we would have more success.  jr and i always do our shopping the at greenbelt co-op and they have an AMAZING produce (and meats) department.  they have almost everything that giant has, similar prices and organic stuff too...  my experience with the ss/tp, umd, glut, etc is that it is a little intimidating for people like myself.  if our co-op was able to appeal to more than just a vegan and or organic population, maybe it would be more successful, right??  also, you can't forget that university park is right around the corner.  that is an interesting market in itself...  they would come too, they like earthy, grass  roots stuff ;)  just my 2 cents, but i would be there every week (probably volunteer some too), and still by fresh flowers from the farmers market ;)  i think eric and erika are onto something (hi by the way, i live on the same street as you two!)  count me in!  -drena (and jr) 4908 nicholson
