Everybody in America is created equal, but that still doesn’t keep us from gushing over the lifestyles of the rich and famous. We’re fascinated by the rich and fantasize about being one of them. No one seems too embarrassed about making big bucks or aspiring to do so. ]]>Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13543-733246knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesKnoxville, TNUpward YearningMetroPulseupward-yearningurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13543-733246Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/jul/09/foreign-outpost/?partner=RSSGrocery Check-Out by John Yates: Hispanics have been coming to the mountains since the days of DeSoto, and East Tennesseans like Sam Houston and Davy Crockett were among the 19th-century Anglo-Americans who reached out to Hispanics on their own turf (and eventually annexed large chunks of that turf into the U.S.). ]]>Wed, 09 Jul 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13495-733232knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesKnoxville, TNForeign OutpostMetroPulseforeign-outposturn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13495-733232Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/jun/25/fresh-harvest/?partner=RSSGrocery Check-Out by John Yates: Driving north on Broadway on a June afternoon, through the green heart of our city, I turn on Washington Pike and head east. With thunder rumbling in the distance and intermittent spatters of rain on the windshield, I drive the length of one of the prettiest ridges in Knoxville, following the pike as it jogs left at the end of the ridge toward East Towne Mall. ]]>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13447-733218knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesKnoxville, TNFresh Harvest MetroPulsefresh-harvesturn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13447-733218Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/jun/11/co-op-collaboration/?partner=RSSGrocery Check-Out by John Yates: I have seen the future, and not only does it work, it’s the past. Three Rivers Market has been around for 27 years, and the basic formula hasn’t changed since I last visited the store around 1987. It’s always been a food co-op, owned by a large base of shopper-members. ]]>Wed, 11 Jun 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13400-733204knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesKnoxville, TNCo-Op CollaborationMetroPulseco-op-collaborationurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13400-733204Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/may/28/beautiful-illusion/?partner=RSSGrocery Check-out by John Yates It’s the Wile E. Coyote Kroger. Approaching from the south you see it suspended above the intersection of Pellissippi Parkway and Northshore Drive, hanging in the air supported by—well, by not much of anything these days, beyond the convictions of West Knox suburbanites that gas prices are bound to fall soon. ]]>Wed, 28 May 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13350-733190knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesKnoxville, TNBeautiful IllusionMetroPulsebeautiful-illusionurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13350-733190Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/may/14/chapman-eden/?partner=RSSGrocery Check-Out:This is for those people in Ohio. You know who you are. You’re sitting up there right now, making your vacation plans, calculating price of gas versus fuel efficiency versus distance from Cuyahoga Falls or Chillicothe or Ashtabula, and drawing a bead on the Smokies. ]]>Wed, 14 May 2008 21:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13296-733176knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesKnoxville, TNChapman EdenMetroPulsechapman-edenurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13296-733176Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/apr/30/city-lights/?partner=RSSGrocery Check-Out: Food City is the hermit crab of Knoxville supermarkets, and its adaptability to neighborhoods across the city may have something to do with its success. The regional chain now has nearly 40 stores listed in the Knoxville phone book and a market share of around 30 percent. ]]>Wed, 30 Apr 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13234-733162knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesKnoxville, TNCity LightsMetroPulsecity-lightsurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13234-733162Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/apr/16/fort-iga/?partner=RSSGrocery Check-Out: The store is at 307 18th Street—307½ is a stairway leading to the building’s upper story, possibly a rental. In the yard next door is a pit bull that’s the spitting image of Petey the Pup from Spanky and Our Gang. The store and surrounding buildings very well could have been lifted out of an Our Gang short; now the neighborhood is all about rentals to college students and whoever else is passing through. ]]>Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13205-733155knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesKnoxville, TNFort IGAMetroPulsefort-igaurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13205-733148Change733155Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/mar/20/land-plenty/?partner=RSSFri, 21 Mar 2008 03:43:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13016-733121knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesKnoxville, TNLand of PlentyMetroPulseland-plentyurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13016-733121Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/mar/06/consumer-bullseye/?partner=RSSFri, 07 Mar 2008 04:06:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-12999-733107knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesKnoxville, TNConsumer BullseyeMetroPulseconsumer-bullseyeurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-12999-733107Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/feb/21/cost-cheap-stuff/?partner=RSSThu, 21 Feb 2008 23:51:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-12975-733093knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesGreg WilkersonKnoxville, TNThe Cost of Cheap StuffMetroPulsecost-cheap-stuffurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-12975-733093Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/jan/10/tale-two-krogers/?partner=RSSThu, 10 Jan 2008 11:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-12923-733051knoxville-culture/grocery-checkoutJohn YatesJohn YatesKnoxville, TNA Tale of Two KrogersMetroPulsetale-two-krogersurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-12923-733051Change0Usable
