I'm in Lafayette Park now, but I was one of the first tenants in Trolley Plaza, now Washington Square, when it opened in 1981. I have to say, there's a bit of hyperbole in the Detroit News article. Eve's has promise, but it may be a stretch to call it a grocery store, certainly not like a Farmer Jack which the article refers to. It's a very small store that appears to want to be a bit more eclectic than the half a dozen or so other small markets downtown. Nobody has starved downtown for lack of markets. Besides the small places, within a couple of miles of the CBD are Harbortown, Honey Bee and, what's that other one? Oh, yeah, Eastern Market. Heck, even CVS--if you shop on sale and use the CVS card--has some pretty good basics. I just enjoyed 2 half-gallons of Stroh's/Sanders Bumpy Cake Ice Cream from CVS at 2 for the price of one a couple of weeks ago. And, really, if you can get your Bumpy Cake, what else do you need?
