A problem with data about being understored

is that it doesn't include cross-border information. For example, I can think of at least 5 full line supermarkets within 1.5 miles of the border between DC and Maryland vis-a-vis Ward 5. The same goes for supermarkets along the line of Ward 4. And a few years ago checking out vacant properties on the demolition list, I seem to recall at least one supermarket on the Prince George's side of Southern Avenue, across from Ward 8.
