groceries
I don't post about Somerville very often, but I thought I'd write a quick post to mark the passing of the Somerville Pathmark. I ran over there tonight to pick up some stuff, and found out that they're closing tomorrow. I knew this was probably coming, due to the redevelopment plans for that center, but I thought there was still a chance that they'd leave Pathmark open. Oh well. I've been doing most of my shopping at Stop & Shop or Wegman's lately anyway, but it was really nice to be able to just run across the street to Pathmark any time I needed milk or something. Now, I've got no grocery store in (easy) walking distance.
It looks like the borough is committed to opening up a new supermarket in that space eventually, so that's good. And there's some mildly amusing speculation and discussion on this over at C-N's forums.
I was never entirely thrilled with the Somerville Pathmark, but it was a decent store, I knew where everything was, and it was usually pretty easy to get in, get what I needed, and get out. I hope all the employees manage to find decent work elsewhere, either at another local supermarket or maybe somewhere else in Somerville.
