It was not hard to find several articles that focuses on a specific location. In the house-buying process location is the most important and this project caught my attention. I found one on abclocal.go.com and Chicago Tribune.com. These articles were some of the few that were positive stories as oppose to shootings and killings that I hear most of the time in the news. I really enjoyed the article on Chicago Tribune site. I enjoyed this article because I really like the sketch that it had and the goals the co-CEO, Walter Robb had in mind when deciding to bring the upscale grocer, Whole Foods to a low-income community like Englewood. It was a good idea to allow the store to serve as training opportunities for culinary students of the local community college, Kennedy-King College and hire locally. As we all know, college is expensive and students need the money and back when I was in school most students did not mind working. It is also important to gain experience as well so when graduation time comes the task of getting your career started will not be as daunting. Although I am not a shopper of Whole Foods, I also think it is important to provide affordable fruits and vegetables because studies show our society is suffering from obesity.
