I just came across this post on a New York Times blog, which pertains to a trend in New York city of local grocery stores rolling in their fruit stands and selling off the last of the flour before being replaced by high-end stores.

Given the furor generated by the rumored sale of the down town Price Chopper, I thought local readers might find this interesting.

On a side note, the latest rumor is that the sale will be finalized at the end of the summer, but of course, no official word on this.
