Mariposa Food Co-op "ground" breaking on Monday

This may be a bit "hyper local" for some of you, but in West Philly this kind of thing is Big News. Mariposa Food Co-op, a longtime (but) tiny staple of the Baltimore Ave/Cedar Park neighborhood, will begin consruction on its newer, larger facility at 49th and Baltimore next week.

To mark the occasion, Mayor Nutter and others will gather and stick a shovel into a vegan cake — something like that, anyway.

Says the press release:

The new store will offer an expanded selection of locally produced, organic and conventional products. The newly-renovated building will be spacious, wheelchair accessible and open seven days a week. At the new store, anyone will be able to shop regardless of membership.

Also (while we're on the W. Phila tip) CLARK PARK IS FINALLY OPEN AGAIN.

Summer, at last, can begin.
