My wife stops by Trader Joes  two or three times a month for produce, frozen 
seafood deals and weird sh*t for herself.  But what we ( in the city) really 
need is a real farmer's market.  
I mean with fairly fresh, good tasting produce.  The stuff in the stores 
claims freshness, but has no taste. And the weekend farmers markets are 
jokes.  They pull the vegetables out of the same produce boxes you see in the 
stores.  There are no real farmers. I grow what I can, but you can't grow 
mcuh other than salad stuff and even then, nothing survives the summers here 
& in the fall the whiteflies destroy much of your crop.   Someone with a good 
produce market ncould do very well in the city......bobford
