FWIW Community Groceries is finally "actually" open. Apparently they hit a few road blocks during their first "grand opening" in December, so they had another "grand opening" last week. A little deli counter in the back, tons more selection, and even a spot for a tiny coffee shop from the look of it.
Still had some problems with the checkout process, but it feels a lot more polished than it did a month ago.

More things like this should be hosted for new projects, renovations, and just local business parties. Get more people to stop by and see what's up
