Couldn't find the map in google. Perhaps someone else here has a link to it.
I currently live downtown and would not use a grocery store located there, especially if it doesn't have parking. In my opinion, a downtown grocery will not happen for a long time. Core is still very car-oriented and the density is not even close (walk the downtown some evening and you'll see what I mean).
Also, there is reasonable access to grocery between the ValuMart on Frederick, Asian groceries on King and Central fresh. As a resident, I really don't get the fixation on a downtown grocery store.
I wonder if the grocery store commentary should be moved to a suitable thread and the speculation on the Eatons building continued here?
