I do shop at David's for certain items, but there produce is less than desirable, not to mention a small fortune! Welcome, welcome, Whole Foods! Welcome, Welcome Wegman's. Columbia is FINALLY becoming a more desirable place to live! Now, all we need is Cava Mezze for a great place for lunch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-88991366981534027882011-11-17T18:36:37.107-05:002011-11-17T18:36:37.107-05:00Let' not forget about our small local markets....Let' not forget about our small local markets. They really need our support to stay afloat during these tough times. The personal service and quality products are what I enjoy most about shopping the small mom & pop markets. They remember you and always greet you with a smile. A few of my favorites are Frank's Seafood,you won't get fresher seafood anywhere else.

Have frequented the local grocers but one in particular has always displayed an attitude and although they have some unique items I won't be returning there.

That parking lot isn't nearly big enough.

While I can't wait for Wegman's and would love to have a Whole Foods, it makes me worry for my friends at David's - good people that have seen me through the adjustment from N.Va to the quirks of Columbia.
