it was a party!


a new grocery store opened up in corner brook this week! (you can tell i live in a small community...) although new, it's run by the coleman's, a local family that has been in business here for 75 years. that's great, but there are other good things about it. rather than building a new store from scratch, they bought and renovated the old humber gardens hockey arena that has been sitting empty for more than 10 years. they used as much recycled and eco- friendly material as they could. inside, the produce is local - when it can be - and not all wrapped up in plastic and styrofoam. and best of all, our friend kevin, who works the deli section , is making sushi. that's a first in corner brook. so yesterday morning, where it seemed everyone we knew was there, it was like a party at the grocery store.
