Title: Natural Gorcers 31st and Harvard Post by: cannon_fodder on October 27, 2013, 01:00:24 pm Tried it for the first time today. The place is a cross between Atkins and Whole Foods. Nice but small produce section. All meat/seafood is prepackaged. A focus on organic or sustainable things. Some very interesting items and selections.
I will be going for a few things from time to time, but bit won't replace Reasors for me. BUT - in the back they have a demonstration kitchen. Great, whatever. BUT THE VERY BACK WALL IS A HUGE BLOWUP OF DOWNTOWN TULSA CIRCA 1925ish. I was both amazed and depressed. Steel frames going up all over. Not a surface lot in site. This is no action shot - but downtown seems alive. Worth stopping just to see that picture IMHO.

Interstate highways were the thing that moved all of the population from the city centers into the suburbs. In my opinion anyway. I'm in the in middle of book called The Big Roads (http://www.amazon.com/The-Big-Roads-Trailblazers-Superhighways/dp/B00ANYJ2PW) that's a fascinating read about how the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System came into being and the fact that Eisenhower had very little if any to do with it aside from signing bill that funded it.

Mrs. Conan says Akin's is far higher than any other supplement stores she's been in.

Maybe around here. Back on the east coast, mass transit enabled "the masses" to move from center city to the suburbs and even farther out. The town where I spent from age about two to twenty was a prime example. We lived 100 yards from a trolley stop that could get you to downtown Philly about as fast as you could drive in a car. There were other rail options in different parts of our town that would take you to different parts of Philly downtown business area. Philadelphia had a mass transit system that would get you all over the place. My mom lived out in a rural area that had train service to downtown Philly. A lot of that system still exists.

I can't speak for supplements, but I regularly drink stevia-based soda and they are far cheaper at Natural Grocer's. |
