Not exactly in our neighborhood, but:
Via DCist, it seems that our local neighborhood grocery chain is looking to expand its presence. There are talks in progress with Whole Foods to open a store in Gallery Place. The addition of grocery stores in the city - especially in newly revitalized urban residential centers - is always a good thing. The opening of Whole Foods in Logan Circle is widely regarded as one of the major catalysts that dramatically sped up the ongoing neighborhood turn-around.
Sure, their prices can be a bit high, but an expensive grocery store is better than no grocery store at all. At the very least, it proves to the other major chains in the area that a clean, safe, well-stocked urban grocery store can be quite profitable; maybe prompting them to finally clean up some of their more blighted stores.

Like we NEED another WholeFoods? Am I the only one who drinks diet soda or who wouldn't mind a chemical or two in order to control calories and lower my carb/fat intake?
The organics movement is one of the biggest scams in the history of our overprivileged nation.
