"food desert" huh? That's weird and scary. Although I've often claimed I can live off of beer I'd hate to actually put that hypothesis to the test.
Is that a Wal-Mart-ification, i.e. the congregation of foodstuffs/clothing/toiletries/household goods into these big box stores? In Denver you still have Walgreens in most neighborhoods, it's a basic pharmacy with the "other" stuff you might not find in a grocery. Coffee cups, stuffed animals, pet needs, etc. Is this lacking in other cities?
A quick mental survey doesn't reveal anything but a shoe store, 99c type places and two thrift stores within walking distance of my house for clothing. Of course there's always Wal-Mart and I live within walking distance of not one but two of the fuckers. Seems like karma since I won't shop there.
I fear the big box culture.
