He will even tell you if the spinich that you are about to buy is past its prime for eating raw. Not a great cheese selection, but the trickling springs stuff is some of the best milk/butter around. Bonus points for the fact that the owner often seems to be stoned. Love this place. He will even tell you if the spinich that you are about to buy is past its prime for eating raw.

It is nothing like the other stores on Sherman. The Continental Market on Sherman and Fairmont, while definitely not Timor, sells a lot of organics, produce, etc and has been spruced up.

(It is not red herring like redundancy -- if it was, they'd be out protesting the loss of a valuable vacant commercial space on upper 14th street to yet another fast food chicken place in CH). In any event, there are already plenty of corner stores up and down 11th and Sherman (plus Park Market on 13th and Park Road). But they all pretty much serve the same type of things, for the most part -- bags of chips, beer, lottery tickets, etc. It wouldn't take much for someone to spruce up their store and expand into these types of goods. So the question is not commercial space, it is the willingness to embrace something beyond junk food and beer.
