Good Foods Grocery

For the last 25 years, Good Foods Grocery has provided healthy food, vitamins, and products to the Richmond community.  They have locations in the West End (at Gayton Crossing) and the Southside (at Stony Point), though I’ve only been to the one in the West End.

It’s a spacious store – much more than you would expect given its location inside the Gayton Crossing shopping center.  It has a fresh produce section which carries as much local produce as possible, a bulk foods section, grocery section, and a section for beauty care items and a very robust health items section with vitamins, supplements, etc.

As far as the West End location goes, most of the people who work there are super nice – if you run across one who isn’t try to brush it off, because the store does have quite a lot to offer.

For instance, they have classes and workshops all the time.  They have occasional Wellness Wednesdays, where they offer information about products, services, and give instructions on cooking and more.  These will be on the third Wednesday of the month at both of the locations.

Their website also offers a wealth of health and nutritional guidance, as well as a monthly sale sheet so that you know about what kinds of bargains you can get.  They also care about making a difference in the world, and lobbied to oppose the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010, which would have given the FDA more power over dietary supplement providers.  You can also read about that on their website.

Locations:

Stony Point Shopping Center – 3062 Stony Point Road 804-320-6767
Gayton Crossing Shopping Center – 1312 Gaskins Road 804-740-3518

Coin and Jewel Theives in Richmond, VA – An Editorial

photo by by Joe Shlabotnik

Richmond Times-Dispatch posted an article today about a jewel robbery at Stony Point Shopping Center in Richmond, Virginia.  Apparently there was a jewel dealer/distributor who was visiting Lastovica Jewelers and as he walked out to his car he was approached by two masked men.  The men made him lie down on the ground and they took his case, which held about $350,000 worth of jewelry.  Now that there many companies advertising that you can use online services to sell jewelry, I guess it seemed like a good idea to the thieves.

RTD also tells us that there has not been a similar jewel heist (I love the word heist) since 2005.

Funny, though, because just two days ago (on October 14th, 2009) they posted a short blurb about the fact that Modern Coin (212 E. Grace Street) was robbed at gunpoint.  They were both masked too.  Are they the same guys?  Maybe.  Either way, these guys must have heard that not only can you sell old jewelry online, you can also sell old coins.  Just another example of the fact that TV influences you to do bad things.  Just kidding.  Stealing is wrong, OK?

Now that I’ve done my public service along with my linking to all places linkable, I thought I’d take this opportunity (read:  abuse my authority) to make a little comment about the comments on said blurb’s page on the Times-Dispatch site…

PEOPLE.  Come on!  What would the neighbors (like DC and Hampton?) think?  Well, I guess we really don’t care what they think.  But why use a public forum to snipe at each other and bring each other down?  Do that here instead!  I need the traffic…
