Winter Hill Star Closing!

[theodosia.livejournal.com]

I was surprised as anything last night when I dropped by the market and it has reduced its hours until 5 PM -- and a sign on the door said it was closing for good on 1/26 (IIRC).

Already the shelves looked a bit on the bare side within!

It's never been a particularly great supermarket, but it was handy and quick from where I lived. I guess it was only a matter of time before the Super Stop & Shop drew away enough business.

Really? Why?

Yeah, the only thing that's unique about the Beacon Street Star is its rack of very cheap overripe fruits and vegetables.

I'd heard that Julia Child's favorite store was Savenor's, a specialty butcher and small grocery that recently reopened its Kirkland Street location after many years.

Yah, that's the place where you can get things like antelope, ostrich and frog.
