[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Igrocery buying power of W7/8 is huge and anectdotally it seems most of us shop in MD or Cap Hill/Noma.
I make healthy food choices and could walk to that Safeway, but never shop there because it's an awful Safeway.  [/quote]

In MD/ Cap Hill/Noma, do the grocery stores have lower costs?  Are they able to stack food past the registers, or outside the doors?[/quote]

That was my post and it's an interesting question because they seem to be two completely different markets. By MD I meant specifically PG county which does not cater to fancy tastes at all, I'm talking places like Sav-a-lot or wal-mart or Aldi, and the land is cheaper.  But they are there in abundance.  I think of Cap Hill/Noma as a little wealthier and they cater to both crowds, and real estate is high but perhaps any theft is offset by the large amount of wealthy shoppers?  It just seems like every neighbor shops in MD or west of the river and those dollars could easily go to a walkable Safeway if it were maintained well.[/quote]
