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

Tue Aug 16 00:54:10 UTC 2011

You may think it can't happen here ... but if you don't pay attention to what is going on, you only have yourself to blame for any negative consequences. 
Don't shoot the messenger.
I'm not making things up this action has a track record. 
I encourage others to do research as well. 
Don't take profiteers for face value.

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.
