co-op update

No last-minute savior. Harvest co-op will close within a couple of weeks. When I was shopping yesterday, other shoppers seemed to be standing around in a daze, blocking the way in some cases. The cashier was surly (blamed the organization for not holding it together until "the holidays"). I am trying to make a list of items to stock up on, that might be unavailable elsewhere. Today I went into the Whole Foods on Prospect Street in Cambridge, which started out in the late 1970s as one of the original Bread & Circus stores. It clearly is a Whole Foods, and has their store brand stuff, but it still has the vibe of the old-style "health food" store that it started out as. I walked out thinking fondly of it, but then remembered that Marcia Deihl was killed by a truck on her way home from the store on her bike in 2015. That took some of the nostalgia out of my shopping trip.
