Nam's market going organic!

CORRECTION:

they DO have organic eggs. they aren't stored by the regular eggs; hence my confusion. they are by the organic milk (and organic half and half, which is scarcer around these parts).

they also now have a bunch of nice looking cheeses and some packaged prosciutto and the like.

nam's (nee ham's) still seems to have all the same things they have sold during my 3 years of shopping there, in addition to the new things. i was worried when i saw all the dry goods, since what i most need from them is veggies, but needlessly.

i believe the process you refer to -- attempting to please a broad customer base -- is widely considered a sound business decision. perhaps that's the impulse.

i miss mazon's, too, but aside from that, what businesses have we lost to accommodate the new ventures (predominately black-owned, as far as i know) on franklin? nothing is coming to mind, except for the lady who used to lie on an old couch croaking offers to tell your fortune in what is now -- following a stint as a "spa products" shop -- the tattoo parlor with the brown awning. she is missed, if only because my walk home is a little less like a tennessee williams play.

ANOTHER ORGANIC GROCERY STORE IN CROWN HEIGHTS

A few weeks ago new owners bought the old deli on the corner of Classon and Bergen. It has a whole new vibe, completely different from the old place that used to stock 99% junk food, and always had a group of drug dealers outside. (They were friendly drug dealers, but still...)

They have a good selection of organic items, and soon will be stocking lots of fresh produce. They also make fresh sandwiches.

The deli is only one block from the jewish hospital building.
