The Winn-Jitney 14 stays a Grocery Store

Some folks have been worried about the demise of our Beloved Jitney 14 grocery store. Former stomping grounds of our won Pulitzer Prize winners and various other denizens of Belhaven. I got word today that No one work ing at the store will lose their jobs and that Local Grocer McDade's will be buying the place! I like McDade and I want to support his stores, but I also like shopping at the Jitney 14. now i can do both.

I like McDade's but would LURRRVE a Whole Foods. Either way, I'm glad to hear it won't become an empty shell like the McRaes near my home.

you should write melton and politely demand that landlords do something about abandoned businesses like McRae's before they become an eyesore.

seriously

Yup, 'cause I know for a FACT that McRae's is costing tax dollars as people leave the city for places like, oh say, Clinton.
