Local deli gets outdoor fruits and vegetable stands at last, Hooray!

UPDATE: This was a bust. The vegetable guy was a flake, his produce was poor quality, and the deli parted ways with him. No fruits and vegetables anymore.

Look at those pretty fresh vegetables!

And finally, after an afternoon of catch-up blogging on this site, I saved the best news for last, an I Love Kingston Ave exclusive!

Foodmark? What does that even mean?

The Organic Foodmark [sic], which opened what seems like a year ago on the corner of Kingston and Dean (literally my corner), has at long last fulfilled its promise of fresh fruits and vegetables out front! There's some story there as to the delay -- the guy they paid to build the wooden stands absconded with the money job unfinished, or something like that -- but all's well that ends well.

Wow, more fruit and vegetables around the corner!

I can say that after nearly four years of living in this neighborhood, this is the first concrete sign I've witnessed on north Kingston Avenue of this gentrification effect on retail everyone keeps talking about. It's a welcome oasis in a food desert.
