[quote=Anonymous][quote]Didn't Safeway and Giant at one point have stores in those wards? I think the reason they left was because of theft. Hard to justify a store if more money walks out the doors than goes in the cash register. Now a seasonal produce stand, I have no clue why there are none. Seems like some local farmer could set up a stand to sell their fruit and veggies. I guess the DC government would want their share, that's probably why there are none[/quote] Why would a farmer sell a pint of berries for $2 in Ward 8 when they can sell them for $5 in Wards 1, 2 and 3? And yes, for grocery stores it is the theft issue. Which really sucks for the majority of the people who live in those wards and don't steal.[/quote]
