[RP TownTalk] if you support mixed use development of Cafritzproperty...

Sonia -  Thank you so much for following up and asking the questions that have been brought up on this list.  It seems that a lot of energy is being wasted on mean-spirited, counterproductive discourse regarding topics that are nothing but speculation.  I appreciate you using your energy to actively seek information and making it available here.  We are lucky to have proactive folks like you interested in our town.  I have enjoyed what you have done with Patch in general.   With sincere gratitude, Drena Galarza (Nicholson Street)

Hi everyone-

I asked Whole Foods a few questions about the lease with the Cafritz property development and here are there responses - hope it clears things up. http://patch.com/A-lgRQ

Also, if you have any other questions about the development that you'd like answered, please shoot me an e-mail at sonia at patch.com. I hope to continue to cover this story as it develops. 

Thanks,
Sonia

The one advantage that the local farmers 
markets have is that they accept special WIC checks given to people just so they 
will buy fresh veggies from those type markets.  They are not allowed to 
use them in grocery stores so at least thats one thing that might keep the 
markets open when the big organic markets open.

  There's also My Organic 
  Market (Mom) in College Park.  Too, many of the regular chain stores 
  like Giant, Safeway, Shoppers, etc., are getting more and more organic 
  products in stock.  Sad to say, it doesn't make much difference to me how 
  many organic markets there are; with the cost of food the way it is and the 
  economy the way it is and my wages frozen, I can't afford to shop at these 
  stores, at least not for a big grocery order.  I can't even afford to buy 
  as much at our farmers' market as I used to, much to my regret.  Fact is, 
  not everyone in the Riverdale Park area has an income in keeping with the 
  prices these stores charge.

  Focus people.  Whole 
  Foods is just a carrot for masses to grease the skids for the Cafritz 
  development proposal.  The bottom line is what they are proposing with 
  "all of the rights and privileges there of", not Whole Foods.  As I said 
  in an earlier post, there is an organic market opening up right down the 
  street in the EYA development.  Do we 
  need three organic markets (EYA, RP, Whole Foods) within a mile of each 
  other?

  I don’t think Whole Foods is going to help our Farmer’s 
  Market.  Why would anyone come to an empty Town Center to 
  swelter or freeze when they can go to Whole Foods and shop in comfort for 
  possibly lower prices?  It’s a no brainer.
