[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to know where I can find a Giant in MOCO as nice as the one in McLean or a Harris Teeter as nice as the ones in Ballston, Dunn Loring, or in Crystal City.

I’ve seen homeless people literally asking for change from people in the self checkout lines at the Harris Teeter on Battery Lane and saw shoplifters rushing the door in the morning last week at the Harris Teeter near White Flint. I asked the women who worked at the bakery if it was a regular occurrence and they said it happens all the time but no one does anything to stop it. It’s not like this in the VA Harris Teeters I go to and they’re nicer and stocked better as well. Why? [/quote]

Oh boy, the dude who compares Harris Teeters and Targets in the suburbs is back. Do you just spend your weekends running around to different big box stores? Your comparisons are silly. If you're going to interview store clerks, then do it across the board and for stores that are in similarly walkable locations -- is the McLean location of HT walkable to anything? The ones in White Flint and Bethesda are in very urbanized areas. The idea that VA doesn't have shoplifting is silly.

Meanwhile, while this dude was making the grand tour of grocery stores, here's what else was happening in VA over the weekend:

Have you been to the places I’m talking about? We’re comparing the same stores. The Ballston and Mosaic Targets are as walkable than the Rockville Target and the Wheaton Target. Go across the bridge sometime and see for yourself and then ask yourself why things are this way.

And we get it, Crystal City and Pentagon City have crime at times. Let’s compare Potomac to Great Falls, Tysons to Bethesda, Leesburg to Frederick. Let’s drill down on the crime data if you want. While we’re at it let’s compare the crime stats in PG County to any VA suburb. [/quote]
