[RP TownTalk] Huh?

[Councilwoman Marsha Dixon]

I received the following message from Whole Foods:

Hi Marsha-

Thanks so much for the background and perspective. We’re adjusting the
store’s name to Whole Foods Market Riverdale Park. You’ll see the revision
show up quickly in some places and less quickly in others, but know that we
heard the community and are pleased and proud to be a part of Riverdale
Park.
