This place is only a few blocks from my condo. I drove by this morning on my way to work. It was crazy, people everywhere, media too; the mayor and one of MI's senators were both there from what I gather. Quite a spectacle for our humble little town. I'll shop there when I need something, but I plan to stick with the smaller place down the road as a first option.

    But the arrival of an upscale Whole Foods store -- the company’s first-ever site in an inner-city neighborhood -- struck many as worthy of an above-average celebration.

Uh, is Austin not an inner city? They started as a small place right in the heart of Austin.
