...Child’s kitchen, which was moved in its entirety to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. three years before her death in 2004. Two blocks away on Kirkland St., students took a tour of Savenor’s Market, the butcher shop and grocer frequented and made famous by Child. Students went behind-the-scenes at the butchering station, learning about the preparation of the store’s famed meats, which range from the ordinary—chicken and pancetta—to the exotic—llama, black bear, and Brazilian python...
...Nixon's life was defined by a me-vs.-them resentment. In his mind, the 1960 presidential campaign was the battle of a Quaker poor boy, son of a grocer, against a Catholic rich kid, son of the whiskey merchant, and little Whittier College against mighty Harvard.

We should go to the municipality and scream and spit in their faces, if that's what it takes...
...Aldi has solved at least part of that problem. Tunis was among the first to arrive at the grand opening of an Aldi store in downtown Sanford, next to one of Seminole County's largest shopping centers. Now he's hoping other grocers will follow Aldi's lead. "There's really no equivalent at the moment," he says. Deep discounters like Aldi can challenge both conventional supermarket chains as well as Wal-Mart, America's largest grocer. Indeed, Wal-Mart ultimately found it too hard to compete in Germany, where deep-discounters are firmly entrenched, and left...
