So, who has better grocery accessibility? 2525 Pembina, with a Superstore next door and a Sobey's a 15 minute walk away? Or 100 Roslyn, with only the Safeway nearby and then a bunch of c-stores?
Yeah but your characterization leaves out the fact that from 100 Roslyn you could walk to work downtown fairly easily. Also, I do believe that that Stella's does in fact sell bread (I know they do at a couple of places anyways). OV is also a stone's throw from the whole Corydon strip which is a pretty big one if you ask me. Name me one patio near 2525 Pembina... The only one that's sort of close is Smitty's
