Recently our neighborhood grocery store completed a fancy new building to house its wares. Their previous store needed some serious work done, but this is not to say that a totally new building was necessary. This has created a bit of a controversy... most people tend towards the extreme opposite ends of love it or hate it, let's not even start on the new parking lot. The new building displeases R!. He found the old one perfectly adequate and recoils at the over-the-top, yuppified, bourgeoisie trappings. It is the building he distrusts, not the food. Let us be very clear... the same products and produce are sold. I have no problem with the store and find the over-the-top, yuppified, bourgeoisie trappings to be quite fascinating and whole-heartedly entertaining. Please note the wine "cave" of the above photograph. To my mind, the food finally fits the store. As Camille has repeatedly pointed out (with an air of annoyance, I might add), yuppies makes some damn good food and drink some damn good wine... damnitalltohell. Change:a temperamental mistress.

Which neighborhood grocery store is this? Kiva?
Ah, V. Alas, this is not the Kiva. This is the spiffy new Price Chopper, seller of all things high brow (in the natural foods vein) and organic.
Lord how I love to correct you on your blog, E!
"Bourgeoisie" is a noun, "bourgeois" is an adjective. Hence, you meant "bourgeois trappings."
Keep your eyes peeled for mistakes I make so you can correct me! What fun!
shhh... people might figure out that you, in fact, wrote my thesis. The fact that we were office mates was a great ploy indeed!
yummy yuppy foodies. :) The equivalent yummy yuppy foodies are about a quarter of the price (cheese for example) here and everyone eats it. I will miss the food most when I have to go back to the 'heartland.'
It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it's always possible to find something new. :)
