Renee sent this to the email list but I wanted to make sure it was available for everybody to see. I would also add that it’s a great opportunity for neighbors to help each other when there is a need.
“I have heard that some Pinehurst residents who normally shop at the Pinehurst Safeway have been struggling with grocery shopping logistics since the Pinehurst store closed at the end of February. With these neighbors in mind, I approached Safeway to ask if they have any thoughts on ways to help those who do not own cars or who are physically challenged by the distance to the nearest open grocery store.
If Safeway is able to offer a discount on home grocery delivery during the store closure period, would you use it? If so, please e-mail me at reneeastaton@gmail.com by Wednesday, April 14th. If you have neighbors or relatives who would use it, please pass this e-mail on to them and ask them to e-mail me as well.”
On a semi-related note…demolition of the old store and surrounding buildings has begun! I’m curious to see how they’ll take down that concrete bunker of a building on the southwest corner of the property. Anybody know the history of this building? It seems like it was built to withstand a nuclear blast.
Yeah, I’ve been walking along the front and I was a bit disappointed there hadn’t been more happening visibly. And then I walked down the back street last night and noticed a house is entirely gone.
And as for the concrete bunker, I’ll just be glad to see the fake concrete wood paneling gone. Though I’m going to be sad to lose the madrona tree that has managed to climb out between the asphalt and the wall.
