In fact, many are high quality, affordable places that respond better to a community's needs better than the for-profit market does.<br /><br />Having said that, I don't think hyde park needs a retail food coop.

They just need to do the exact same thing all over again, but this time it will somehow be different!<br /><br />Maybe they can combine it with the3 inevitable Orly's version 3.0.
