All I wanted was some

All I wanted was some aluminum foil, preferably within close walking distance. I live in “downtown” Ann Arbor, so that shouldn’t be too difficult.

Unfortunately, the closest grocery store is a few miles away from my house. That leaves me with the People’s Food Co-op, which doesn’t carry aluminum foil, the gourmet market in Kerrytown, which I assume doesn’t carry aluminum foil (platinum foil, maybe) and a little convenience store that does happen to have aluminum foil, but has virtually no other groceries that don’t have hydrogenated vegetable oil or high fructose corn syrup in the top two ingredients.

There are three New Age candle stores within close walking distance of my house.

  1. Hey, AAIO — Did White Market (on William) close? They’re more expensive than the supermarket, but you can get things like aluminum foil there. Inquiring minds want to know. Anna


  2. According to Forbes magazine (Aug 2003) Ann Arbor ranks as one of the most overrated cities in america, as well as overpriced for what living expenses get for you
