You may now carry on with your smart ass retorts

that the anti-Whole Foods contingent will pipe down? Probably not.

This is the land that should already have buildings on it, workers going to jobs on it, and tax money being paid on it, but the 'community meetings' went on for so long that - sure enough - the economic cycle went down and now there's no money to build.

Seems kinda weird since there is another Harvest Co-Op around 1/2 mile down the street on South St.? Does that mean the original one will close? Seems like a bit over-saturation to me if they keep both.

And he says they'll sell beer and wine at the new location, too. Here's an updated story from JP Patch, which I edit.

Harvest Co-op already has a location in JP. In fact, it's right up the street from the Forest Hills stop at 57 South St.

Think about that for a minute: there is already a Harvest store that you can walk to from Forest Hills in under 10 minutes.

Harvest proposed building a brand new store in what was then the vacant lot across from the Curley School. Neighborhood opposition prevented that from happening, and that empty lot is now a parking lot and small park. Harvest did the next best thing -- it moved into an existing building (the old Arborway Foods) that was too small from the beginning.

It'll be great to see what a store they design from the ground up looks like. Congratulations to the Forest Hills neighborhood!
