Speaking of supermarkets, has Safeway decided that other cities are not profitable enough or is Chicago just that special? Note I didn't say not profitable; just not profitable enough.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

I would KILL for a Safeway here. Their gluten-free mac and cheese is THE BOMB. I seriously brought home 4 boxes of it from our honeymoon.
I am not ashamed.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of gluten-free pasta. Gluten is pasta's raison d'être!

They're closing all their stores in the Chicago area at end of December.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
For some reason there are Safeways aplenty in Nor Cal but there's none in LA, or at least there's none near my house so I never shop there. Once I learned that all 50 thousand grocery store chains are actually owned by like 5 companies, I stopped caring so much which chain I actually shopped at. Now my choices are strictly based on proximy, pricing, and what's stocked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Wholefoods near work has live music on Fridays. It's annoyingly full of people not shopping, not moving through the aisles.
I've seen the yoga classes advertised, but never worked out where they take place.

Isn't Von's Safeway out in LA?
I'm hurry-up-and-waiting today. Funtimes.

Safeways are Vons. And vice versa. I still use the clubcard I had from Safeway in Washington DC (Why yes, I shopped at the Social Safeway there or the Not-So-Safeway when I lived in SW) when I moved here and shopped Vons. I also used the same card when I lived in Palo Alto.
