I think there's more nuance to the picture, both universally and in terms of valuation by various ethnic groups. I'm sure some might see a supermarket as a culinary wasteland.

There are small international grocers on James at Murray, Colbourne, Robert and Vine. There are mid-sized international markets at MacNab & Cannon, York & Inchbury, Queen & York. There are two Denningers downtown. There is a Goodness Me at Locke & Blanshard.

There is a small market at James & Duke. There was an independent market-fresh grocer on the NE corner of James & Augusta, though I believe it may have closed. And there are a host of various sizes of international specialist grocers pocketed around the No Frills just east of downtown in Landsdale.

Locke South hosts a farmer's market Thursday afternoons June-Sept. Plan B Organic Farms will deliver weekly/biweekly produce shares to no fewer than seven downtown depots as well as offering a home delivery option. And if you're housebound, Grocery Gateway might be another service on your speed dial.

Some see a jobs desert in the absence of corporate employers. Others do not.

Some perceive the lack of name brand retail options as commercial poverty. Others do not.

Maybe the same is true of food.

I suspect that there is no single "right" answer. Diversity can be an asset.
