The store, which is located near the East River, now replaces a former wire factory in East Harlem. The video clip on the MSNBC.com Website depicts the opening ceremony for the store and describes the 15-year battle to open such a grand supermarket within the busy streets of New York. Of course, customer traffic and parking became major factors during the development stages. The photograph is courtesy of MSNBC.com and depicts hundreds of shopping carts at the new location. I just wonder now if people will purchase bulky items and pile into yellow NYC taxi cabs. Shopping carts become vessels themselves, taking us from Point A to Point Z while carrying souvenirs along the way.
