Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

SuperFresh Opens Unit in Baltimore

From Progressive Grocer online:

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. here is opening an 11,000-square-foot store SuperFresh store today in downtown Baltimore. According to A&P, the state-of-the-art location showcases "an enticing selection of fresh foods and groceries tailored to the area's customers."

In keeping with A&P's recently implemented fresh format, the downtown Baltimore store's features include fresh artisan breads, a pizza oven, a service bakery, gourmet cheeses, a fresh-cut meat department, and a broad assortment of seafood and freshly prepared chowders.

SuperFresh operates 75 stores in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and the Washington, D.C. area. A&P operates 405 stores in the United States.

The store is nicely sized for an urban core. I would hope this company is being approached for downtown DC.
