I love LA, but this is so sad. One of the biggest metros in the world, and people are making such a big deal about a friggin grocery store (the first one!!) opening in "downtown". Just shows you how overwhelmingly suburban (or in the preferred euphemism here, "multinodal") LA is. Now LA is about 4.4% instead of 4.3% on its way to becoming a great urban metropolis.

This thread would make a great spoof for a NY or London paper. "Wow, we finally have a grocery store!! Bring out the champagne!"
