If you don't have a car, if you live in or near Oakland, and if you eat food, there is good news for you! A grocery is opening at 3906 Forbes Avenue on August 15. It is part of the Independent Grocer Alliance. According to The Pitt News, "Market on Forbes will carry fresh produce, frozen food, deli meats and other groceries not readily available in Oakland."
The only drawbacks seem to be the proposed hours, 11-7 Monday through Friday and noon to 4 on weekends. I also wonder if the location will cause prices to be significantly higher than those at Giant Eagles in Squirrel Hill or Shadyside. Nevertheless, this is an important step to making Oakland a truly walkable community.

Looking forward on the bus, you get to see all the driver's tacky decorations, and sometimes grim faces, too.
