Follow up on the Hillscape/Wholefoods Thing

Frozen Tropics does no usually reach quite so far south, but we're going on a field trip to the Southeast Redevelopment Blog to address something I pointed out in the current Hillscape column. We're talking about the rumor that Wholefoods might be planning to open a store on 8th Street SE across from the Navy Yard. Hillscape says it's confimed & Redevelopment says not so fast. I've seen this blog before, but I'm impressed anew each time I see it.

I am family friends with some of the higher ups of whole foods. They have told me that they have been looking to come into capitol hill, but can not find a place large enough. I have been trying to convince them that H St is the place to go. I have not heard about this decision, but i will ask next time I am in Austin.

I have not gotten back to Austin, but I did make a call. It seems that Whole Foods just had their quarterly, where they announce all of their new store locations, and this location was not announced. It does not mean that they are not going there, but if they are, don't expect an official announcement for another three months.
