The Whole Foods Corporation presented a sort of choice to the Mid-City community this week: the finalists for taking over the Mid-City location are Matassa’s Grocery and Lakeview Fine Foods. There does seem to be some cynicism surrounding the issue as Robert of Fair Grinds (an open-minded and fair fellow as many would agree) writes:

Moving on from the disappointing way Whole Foods handled the “community review” aspect of the Esplanade store sale, I am hoping to focus on more constructive community building activities than the one we just participated in so disappointingly. As everyone seems to say around here, at least we’re getting a grocery!

One last attempt to be in control of our own voice in this decision is to complete yet another survey, this one a “vote” of sorts for a particular store and a take on some aspects of how it should run. Look for it in e-mail soon, or come by Fair Grinds for a hard copy.

So if you want to voice your opinion and participate in this survey, swing by Fair Grinds and have a look.
