I loved EM Heath Supermarket when it was in that spot in Meredith. I did most of my shopping there until Star Market opened up and eventually ended up moving over there. Why? Because the traffic was rediculous during the summer and ski season. Star has an excellent location and I'd zip back down 104, onto Winona Rd and then to Waukeewan Rd to where I lived.

The last time I went to Star I was NOT impressed. I used to think it was a big store with lots of fresh produce (never thought it was cheap) but what I saw was a dirty, smallish store with nasty produce. I'll never go back.

I never liked Hannafords - from way back to when they started up in Plymouth (where I worked as a nurse at the hospital). Their prices were stupid for the area but perhaps now that the WalMart moved into town they've got a little competition and have tamed things down.

I just can't imagine a big supermarket by the cinema in Meredith. At all. I do hope they've got some mighty good plans for traffic control there, otherwise it's going to be an accident magnet and a nightmare. It'll be interesting to see what it looks like the next time I come to the US. It's changed so much already in that area. I know change is good, but . . . .
