<DIV>I have been shopping lately in Grocery Americana and find it superior to Giant's dirtier-and-even-more expensive-by-the-day stores. It offers great produce for less than both Giant and Safeway, and the butcher cuts to order for less. Wow, except for maybe Graul's in Annapolis, where do you get that? The store is old but it's clean and the staff are in good cheer. I'd encourage Mr. Lubian to consider adding the space where the old Riverdale Plaza Giant operated and then I'd thank him by shopping there. </DIV>
