Sonia - <BR> <BR>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. <BR> <BR>With sincere gratitude, Drena Galarza (Nicholson Street)<br> <BR><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2011 16:31:42 -0400<br>From: sonia@patch.com<br>To: tazimax@verizon.net<br>CC: towntalk@riverdale-park.org<br>Subject: Re: [RP TownTalk] if you support mixed use development of Cafritzproperty...<br><br><font size="2"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Hi everyone-<br><br>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. </font></font><span class="ecxshort_url_link"><a href="http://patch.com/A-lgRQ" target="_blank">http://patch.com/A-lgRQ</a></span><br>

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.</font></b></div>

<div><span>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. </span></div>

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. <span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt;">Do we
need three organic markets (EYA, RP, Whole Foods) within a mile of each
other?</span></font></font></div>
