Food desert? *rolling eyes* Some folks think they’re entitled to a grocery store right down the street.
That’s BS there is an HEB and a Fiesta within 2 miles of the new south side grocery store. The true “food desert” is up in the Third Ward, well north of MacGregor. Of course, Boykins has his smiling mug all over it anyway.
