perplexities
why doesn't lansing have better shopping options? we're the capitol of mi. we have many a healthy beatnik folk running the streets...so why don't we have more of a natural hub of expertise around these parts? i'm starting to want to live around d-town for the shear ability to have opportunities...
things that should come to lansing...
trader joes. why don't we have one? ann arbor has one, d-town has many...how did lansing get missed. sure, we have better heath food and foods for living that will rake you over the coals after they take all your money. i just spent $3.50 for a bag of cereal. when i opened it, there was only half a bag of actual cereal...i got 3 bowls out of it. what's up with that? and we do have the co-op...which is lovely, but not well stocked and high priced as well. but local, so that's cool!
if not trader joes, why not whole foods. yeah, they're expensive, but talk about variety! come on!!
and then where are our natural baby stores. i am so sick of babies r us. we had a store, kinda...called basically babies..which was really just a glorified baby toy store and not surprisingly has since gone under with their lack of supplies and customer service. but seriously, other than shopping online or making a trip to grand rapids, ann arbor or detroit, where does one buy cloth diapers, baby organics and bottles without all the chemicals?
i just don't understand the lansing area....we have so much more than the smaller towns surrounding us, yet we're still lacking big time on organics and natural goods. and we're the agricultural hub. it makes me sad. i'd open a store if i had the gusto...
in saying this...i have to make a trader joes run soon. maybe next week. anyone interested in car-pooling?
