That Whole Foods at Columbus and 97th is open!

The “soft” opening was yesterday, and–dammit!–I didn’t know. So I missed all the free food and jazz.  The official opening is tomorrow, a great development (pun intended) for the neighborhood.

When I lived in D.C. and a Whole Foods opened two blocks from my house in Logan Circle, the store was instrumental in tripling home values. (Of course, that was before the bubble deflated.)  The new store sure can’t hurt real estate prices in the broad neighborhood.

The new Whole Foods is an exception hereabouts in that it carries wine.  In D.C., the selection was appealing and well priced.

Hurry on over, you and other residents of both the Upper West Side and across Central Park on the Upper East Side.

If you’re relocating, you can be a star on HGTV

From HGTV, which as a new series called “Uprooted.” comes the news that the producers are seeking “high-energy” home buyers who are saying goodbye to their hometowns, totally picking-up and moving to a new place where everything is different.

“Whether they’re moving from the mountains to the ocean, a major city to the country, or making a move overseas, HGTV wants to hear your story.”

(The foregoing is in quotes because of the appalling grammar.)

In order to qualify: Continue reading →
