More Oakhurst Market Details
Decatur Metro | June 17, 2011 | 12:16 pmIf you’ve read this blog for a while, you may be aware that I have a thing about local markets and groceries. To me, they’re the lost “third place“. I even went through a “Decatur co-op!” phase a couple years ago, until I realized it would be more than a full-time job to get it going.
Anyway, enough about my own fruitless ambitions.
Based on this new Patch profile, the new Oakhurst Market continues to sound pretty dang wicked. Offerings will include:
- Butchered meat
- In-house roasted turkey, beef, pastrami
- In-house baked bread
- To-go dinners
- Fresh herbs and vegetables from the Oakhurst Garden and Sugar Creek Farm
- A seven-foot wine wall
- Growlers
According to Patch, the Market plans to open by the end of this month!
Looks forward to the take out dinners! Hope they are of quality.
I hope they offer the same kind of inexpensive breakfast that Oak Grove Market offers.
I covet the market. Please open soon. A peek through the front door last week didn’t convince me they would open before the end of the month.
A agree with KeithF. But I am also hopeful that I can buy good food and drink within walking distance of East Lake. It would make the entire Oakhurst area much more livable.
It’s already pretty dang livable. I think this will make Oakhurst completely self-sufficient!
Is there a secession movement? Oakhurst would bring an elementary school, an ECLC, a 4/5, a middle school and 3 school board members with it, leaving the northside of Decatur with 2 elementary schools, a central office in an school building, a high school and two School Board members. Not sure which way Winnona Park and its elementary school would go. A lot fewer buses would be needed and the racial distribution would remain similar if DHA homes went north, similar enough for the justice system. That’s what we need, more reconfiguration!
Jealous Karass?
Instead, why not just move down to the Southside – Decatur’s hipper little sister.
Can’t afford Oakhurst! I bought in the uncool non-Great Lakes part of the northside when I was single and asbestos shingles were still prevalent. My dream is to sell the work-intensive house/yard and move to a condo somewhere in the middle of Decatur so I can walk to both Oakhurst and Downtown. Not sure the family is coming with me.
They should develop a custom burger grind a la Pat LaFrieda. That would be way cool.
Bye bye hop and shop. Good riddance.
