midtown global market update: not enough people are buying stuff [strib]
they blame the alina employees for being scared of neighborhood crime, saying "after 5 p.m., allina people get in their cars and make a fast break out of here." sure, it could be fear of crime, or maybe they would rather go home after working all day. and isn't the market supposed to primarily support the local community? or are they arguing that that the health of a small organic produce stand in south minneapolis depends on bearded dorks from edina driving in to buy apples. come on. (fd: i'm a huge fan of the midtown, broken as it apparently may be.)
