So those who predicted that the Astros would win the World Series before the Downtown area had a legit grocery store were correct. And I think the first real grocery store will be over closer to where the Dynamo play too near EaDo Landing, where the wires of the green and purple lines comingle.
You forget Phoenicia …. it’s small but it is downtown and has been for years
I didn’t forget Phoenicia WR…but that’s like a convenience store to me. I’m talking supermarket style.
Must emphatically agree w/WR. Phoenicia is indeed a grocery store, one with a lot of regular vegetables and meats plus the pizazz of unusual (to us) prepared and packaged foods from all over. I’d rather have the Phoenicia than the HEB on 24th and Shepherd.
