Hart's Local Grocers

Have you been? What are your thoughts?
Went and wasn't very impressed. But then, I'm probably not in their target market. Certainly not worth a special trip by car.
They seem to have more space than they can fill. Perhaps that will change if/when they mature. Produce was very so-so. For all the hoopla about local growers, there wasn't much. (Yes, there is still plenty to be had from local farmers! Are they trying?) I did get some amazing and reasonably priced locally grown shiitake mushrooms. That was my big score.
There is a bakery and a deli which at a glance seemed ok. How do you keep repeating how you feature local stuff (yes, there is some - but it doesn't dominate) and offer me pumpkin seeds grown in China?! Pisses me off.
Parking is more than ample - and I got a 10 cent credit for bringing my own bag. Woo.
Maybe it's handy for Eastman students without a car. . .
