Pike Place Market Landscape

As I walked into Wawa, I could confidently tell you where everything is because the layouts of every Wawa in New Jersey are almost identical. There is a wall of refrigerators filled with soda to the right as you walk in, a side of the store towards the back reserved for making sandwiches, endless shelves of junk food by the registers at the front entrance and the refrigerators filled with soda, and an open freezer area in the middle of the store with some “healthier” foods. The amount of people inside took me completely by surprise as I opened the door because there was a lack of cars parked in the parking lot. I personally felt like I was in a grocery store rather than a Wawa. What I first noticed was the demographic of the customers in the Wawa. Almost all of the people in the store were either hispanic or african american. With people suffering from poverty and a lack of cars in the parking lot, I realized that many of these people walked to the store probably because they didn’t have cars. As I browsed through each aisle I found that Wawa had a nice selection of milk, fresh bread, and cereals that anyone can afford. As I attempted to search the store for any food filled with quality nutrients that wasn’t a dairy or wheat, the number of options weren’t to thrilling. Wawa’s fresh fruit consisted of about 5 red apples, 3 bananas,

Price puts the sweater on her desk. In the text it states that “‘That's not, I didn't, you're not... not mine,’ I finally say in a little voice that was maybe me when I was four”.This demonstrates her weakness and lack of self confident because she is unwilling to express that the sweater isn’t hers and that shows how shy and passive Rachel is. Another thing that Rachel says in this story that demonstrates her weakness is the fact that continuously she states “not mine” yet this was not being spoken out loud. A line from the texts shows the reader her

Rachel Price is a character within the novel who is very self-centered, arrogant, selfish, racist, and independent. Although some of these characteristics go along with each other, others seem to contradict each other. Rachel’s selfishness shows through in many parts of the book. She is typically only focused on her successes and issues, without much regard to anyone else.

America’s vast food supply has increased. Foods that were once hard to come by can be found in almost all the grocery stores across the nation. In the article “What’s Eating America”, by Michael Pollan, who is a professor of journalism, explains how the bounty of food came about. He writes about the creation of synthetic fertilizer and how it was used to fertilize crops and essentially make all the foods today. He writes about the harmful effects that are occurring as a result of the chemically made fertilizer. In another article called written by Katherine Spriggs, a student from Stanford University, she writes about the benefits of buying local versus becoming dependent on the import of food. She feels that buying from local farms

This helped to establish Pittsburgh as an industrial powerhouse, which created many opportunities” (“The Strip District: A Place like No Other,” 2015). Not only did this bring immigrants from countries like Ireland, Germany, and Poland to seek employment, but it also created industrial wealth and growth within the city. In addition, to the Strip District being the industrial spot, it later grew into a wholesale produce center, which therefore created a lot of revenue. By the early 20th century, The Strip District had become the center for all wholesale produce business within the city. Merchants traveled to and from The Strip to purchase food and sell and ship it around the world for profit. Unfortunately, the need for space to expand the produce wholesaler’s area became extremely important. In the 1930’s many industrial buildings, homes, and mills were destroyed, creating more room for wholesalers (“The Strip District: A Place like No Other,” 2015). As you can see, The Strip District has played a major role in many pivotal concepts within Pittsburgh. Without this idea from owners James O’Hara and George A. Bayard, Pittsburgh’s history would be completely

There are within the city ten principal squares or market places, besides innumerable shops along the streets. .... On the nearer bank ... stand large stone warehouses provided for merchants who arrive from India and other parts with their goods and effects. They are thus situated conveniently close to the market squares. In each of these, three days in every week, from forty to fifty thousand persons come to these markets and supply them with every article that could be desired.

Wabash is located in South Loop. Wabash surrounds Columbia College and restaurants. In the 1960’s Wabash was flooded with all sorts of shops and people. In the present time mostly college students roam on Wabash. In the past there were all ages on Wabash. I have this knowledge from the photos I discovered at the Harold-Washington Library. One particular photo stuck out to me out of the 6 I observed. The photo was of crowded adults waiting to get into a christmas shop on Wabash. It stuck out to me because it showed how even back then customers still got excited to buy new products. In present day we do the same. Waiting for the next updated Iphone or to go black friday shopping to get the best deals. Which shows how important management can be by, promoting new products to bring in customers and get business. Peets and Dunkin each have posters to show off their new beverages or deals that they have in store. For example, Dunkin has a special between 2 and 6pm for 2 dollar iced drinks. These posters really work because of their location being right where college students are. College students love their coffee. In other words the location is easy and convenient for them. It’s all about convenience for customers. If the coffee shops were really out of the way and not by campuses. The shops would not have that much business because it is not in a convenient location and their advertisements would not be seen.

Pike Place Market in Seattle, is one of my favorite places to visit. It is part of the historic district in Seattle and is only closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas day. The rest of the year you can find a great meal at one of over 80 restaurants, the perfect gift or souvenir from one of their many owner-operated shops, and you can even find food and flowers for your daily home needs.

In Slaughterhouse Blues, anthropologist Donald Stull and social geographer Michael Broadway explore the advent, history, and implications of modern food production. The industrialized system behind what we eat is one of the most controversial points of political interest in our society today. Progressions in productive, logistical, retail, and even biological technologies have made mass produced foods more available and more affordable than ever before. This being said, the vague mass production of ever-available cheap “food” carries with it several hidden

It was 1742 when the first town hall in Boston was opened. It was named Faneuil Hall which was often referred to as the Cradle of liberty. Faneuil Hall served as a market place and a meeting hall during the mid seventeen hundreds and is still in use now as a public meeting place for the people of boston. It all started when a wealthy Bostonian Merchant named Peter Faneuil came up with the idea of building a marketplace in Boston. After much debate, Boston accepted Faneuil’s proposal. Once it was built, the town government also used the marketplace as a meeting space. The lower lever of the hall was divided into “stalls” which were exclusively for market purposes. In the market, meat, vegetable, and dairy products were sold. On the second floor,

Like many towns in the south, the downtown area keeps its traditional look.The downtown area has most of the original buildings still standing today, but they are not in business. The business that are open today are similar to the business of 100 years ago.A fashion boutique, a theatre, and antique store are a few of the business that still remain in the downtown area. 100 years ago the downtown area would have been the heart of the town, but today many of the popular businesses are on the outskirts of town.

Much of the deep south, but especially the Pike County and surrounding counties were rural but gradually begin to develop with time. John Lewis described Pike County’s landscape as small communities alongside dirt roads with rolling hills. Before Pike County’s founding in 1821, there was a small-scale number of African Americans residing there. In the 1820s there was a major shift in the area’s populace when the

On behalf of the Pike County Department of Human Resources, we would like The Home Gallery to know that we are extremely grateful for the items donated towards our March of Dimes Auction. The auction will take place in efforts to raise funds and awareness for the March of Dimes.

We love food in America. On 72nd and dodge street in Nebraska, Omaha; there is an approximate amount of a 100 restaurants. Imagine how much restaurants are in a major street of New York City. The moment the television is on, there is constant burst of different food commercial to the audience. If the television was on for 15mins at least two commercial will pop up. One probably advertising food. However, this paper is not based on the food that is consumed. No, this paper will focus on the amount of food wasted constantly in America.

While Reed had started as a lower-end retailer 80 years ago, it had continually expanded and upgraded its stores, adding new departments and expanding higher-margin offerings like prepared foods and flowers. For two decades, Reed stores had been considered high-end in the supermarket business. In addition to a full assortment of standard groceries, baked goods, meats, seafood, paper goods, and health and beauty items and a pharmacy, a typical Reed’s featured a vast case of mostly fresh seafood, including live lobsters and crabs; imported packaged goods ranging from 27 kinds of mustard to three different brands of snails; and an array of 20 different prepared entrees available for takeaway. The chain was well-known for the quality of its produce and its emphasis on organic produce. Reed also differentiated itself by offering attractive stores, long hours, elegant (and often creative) serving-case displays, and exceptionally attentive customer service. The checkout clerks wore distinctive red aprons, greeters offered free cookies to customers on the weekend, high staffing levels ensured short checkout times, and runners shuttled bags to customers’ cars—no tipping, please.
