RIP Sunflower Market...2007-2008

There was a close-by (all of .3 of mile...and right off the Monon Trail...) Supermarket called Sunflower Markets that has abruptly shut down. The store, affectionately called the "Hippie Grocery store" had all kinds of organic-sourced food and produce not to mention a ton of great microwave (Thai shrimp and noodles in 4 minutes) and fresh-made dinners to go.

Of course the store, which also had wi-fi and a little coffee lounge, not to mention tons of unusual beer selections and affordable wine on hand, was owned by an evil corporate overlord (www.supervalu.com/sv-webapp/) that apparently decided that the place wasn't turning a profit quickly enough. The good news, if any, was that there was a massive-first 25% then 50% off everything-sale. Alas, if felt each time as the shelves became more and more bare, a lot like picking through a ghost town...

Hopefully something good takes the space....
