San Francisco (again).There was some excitement about Trader Joe's locating in the former Tower Records site on Market at Noe Streets, an area that could use a store to compete with the terrible Safeway and terrible and expensive DeLano's Market. As usual, the NIMBY's got their panties in a bunch about traffic and parking (there is some limited parking on the roof of the building).
City Hall wanted to discourage short-distance drivers, so it asked that Trader Joe's charge for parking. Rightfully so, TJ's said no thank you, and have now abandoned the project. So instead of a small grocery store, the neighborhood got a Goodwill Store.
Way to go, San Francisco.
Yes, but I bought a piece of Satanic artwork at the Goodwill store that I am confident Trader Joes does not carry. http://twitpic.com/2wgz2c
