Whole Foods will open its first location in Park Slope, Brooklyn next year, following an eight-year battle with community activists, preservationists, and some leaky subterranean oil tanks. Opponents of the project are concerned the upscale grocer will destroy the bucolic landscape, chase away the thriving manufacturing industry, and forever conceal the historic backyard of one of Brooklyn's most treasured landmarks. Seriously. A few blocks away sits the legendary Park Slope Food Co-op, which routinely tackles issues of national—and international—importance, such as conflict in the Middle East, natural gas drilling, and our "post hyper-capitalist" future. What do threatened co-op shoppers and neighborhood activists have to say about the new Whole Foods? Reason.tv correspondent Kennedy investigates. Written and produced by Jim Epstein. Approximately 2.30 minutes. Go here for complete links and text: http://bit.ly/HDrSiq |
