[RP TownTalk] What grocery store?

[Melissa Avery]

The original proposal has always said Whole Foods or a high end grocery store. I was referring to what was actually said at  the last meeting in front of the county council. 
Whole Foods was not specifically mentioned. Instead, "a grocery store" was the term used in the presentation, several; times. Perhaps some were out of the room or snoozing at the time this term was used.

I do believe that the deconstruction of my previous post will only give additional life to a thread started with an "unsubstantiated accusation and innuendo."

I was responding only to Chris Currie's opening statement "Beware the 'bait and switch.'" The characterization of actions by Cafritz that have not occurred, and that there is no evidence will occur, as a disreputable sales tactic is, in my opinion, indicative of an "underlying distrust of successful businessmen."

For those that overlooked it, in response Chris Currie graciously posted on this forum:

"Lou, I apologize for my poor choice of words in opening my post yesterday (I blame my day job as a marketing consultant for my reflexive tendency to use provocative opening lines).  I didn't mean to imply that Cafritz is planning to bring in a different tenant -- although I can easily see why the use of the term 'bait and switch' left that impression.

"I'm sure both Cafritz and Whole Foods desire to bring their agreement (a lease, according to Alan, not a letter of intent or MOU) to fruition."
