Medford Whole Foods bird house?

[m00n.livejournal.com]

Has anyone else noticed that the new(ish) Whole Foods on the Mystic Valley Parkway in Medford has a tiny, wooden bird house attached to the rafters over the bulk display?

What's with that?

I probably would never have noticed except that I went in there today and there was a little sparrow flying around while I was buying my groceries.

Also, there's a food co-op in Central Square with bulk bins.

You mean Harvest Co-op (http://www.harvestcoop.com)? I like their store in JP a lot more, and in that neighborhood they are the main organic grocer. The problem with Harvest is that, at least compared to Whole Foods, their stores are dirty and their produce isn't as good (i.e. rotten) and costs more. Their bulk section is nice, and quite extensive, but the store is just so much less pleasant to be in than a Whole Foods, and when I'm buying my food I don't want to be thinking about antiseptic.

Harvest is great for bulk goods, especially grains, but lousy for most other stuff. I have to admit, they have the most extensive selectino of canned tomatoes I've ever seen - I love it. But it's really a terrible place to shop for produce. You're much better off at Shaw's (at the least!)
