Quoted from Madam X
Eastern Parkway has to be pretty lucrative, with all the food stamp dollars.
The trouble is, if you don't drive, Hannaford is too expensive a cab ride and no longer on the bus line. People of modest means suffer the most becauseof the welfare dump. They can't get away from it.



Hannaford no longer on a bus line?   Since when?   Altamont Ave is now served by two buses

speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

The Consaul Road Hannaford is no longer on the bus line. That's the one JackBauer recommends as having a more pleasant shopping atmosphere, and Iprefer it myself. Altamont Avenue, yeah, it beats Eastern Parkway, for sure, but you don't get the guarantee of a better experience that you do in the Nisky one, IMO.

OK. Never knew CDTA ever had buses on Consaul Rd or Balltown Rd

The #58 Union Street went over Balltown Road to the former Mohawk Mall.
Isn't it odd that as we are pushing energy conservation, emissions control, etc. More and more places are getting built that are only accessible by car? In Mohawk Commons, you really need to get back in your car if you want to go from Old Navy to Target. I think that the malls are losing popularity because they can be accessed by bus.

It's not worth going from market to market because they are all with in $20 of each others baskets....I buy basics every week...

I'm not a hamster

I don't clip coupons
I don't stare at flyers

the scales are weighted....and it depends on where you live....that status quo must stay the same---IN EVERYTHING...

cost of higher ed
cost of healthcare
cost of food
cost of clothing
cost of housing
etc etc....

but GUESS WHAT REMAINS THE SAME:

cost of war
taxes collected for cost of government services/workers

oh yeah---WE'RE FU(KED


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Shoppers line up outside the Central Market on Eastern Avenue on the store's opening day in 1949.

People in this area always did love a supermarket opening. I wonder if any of my family were there?
