I think there should be TJ close by too. Perhaps Roxbury and JP could share one located in the new Jackson Square. The project is being done by the Jackson Square Partners.

I appreciate your activism, but I can't imagine that they'll drop their prices. The place is selling fairly-traded, and local, organic and whole foods products. These are never cheap because they don't pass along the cost to the environment, or the labroers, and they're selling them in our neighborhood, which is not a cheap one. If we are committed to doing right by the planet and by the people who grow and make our food, we've got to make food a bigger part of our budgets.<br />

I agree that if it was a more typical (old-fashioned?) co-op, members could impact a lot of these decisions. As it stands, benefits of membership are not good enough for me to have joined even though I shop at both stores on a regular basis.

im going to forward this feed on to the good folks at harvest coop...and hope that they see the need to expand and drop their prices. it would be great to have someone with that kind of community involvement grow in our neighborhood...and not support one of the big three....<br />

and i cannot tell you how happy i am at the amount of dialogue this has opened up on this forum! thanks to everyone that has written in..sincerely!<br />

He calls Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and WalMart "the evil trio."<br />

I feel very strongly that the TJ's should go into the Eggleston neighborhood. We need more bridges into the Roxbury neighborhood. And I bet it would be ideal for the residents of Roxbury. Then Harvest and City feed can still do their thing too.<br />
If I had the money to invest I would do so.

Again..I think it would be a bit of overkill. There's a Trader Joe's minutes away in Brookline.<br />
<br />
I would rather sacrifice convenience than push for something that will eventually lead to increased traffic (and pollution) and the eventual higher rents.<br />
<br />
I wonder if those who jumped on the Anti-Domino's bandwagon would also see that a Trader Joe's would cause some of the same problems. And don't tell me that Trader Joe's is less expensive than Stop and Shop. If that was true we would see more low…

Perhaps I'm giving this thread too much of my attention.<br />
<br />
I really do think that those committed to the "big picture" would lobby against the further gentrification of our neighborhood. So I'm really not concerned.<br />

Trader Joe's should be in JP- not only that, they should renovate and rejuvenate some of the decaying industrial area over by Stonybrook station...
