Grassroots grocery aims to fill a niche in Detroit

The Metropolitan Organizing Strategy Enabling Strength, or MOSES, Supermarket Taskforce is a coalition of community groups, churches, unions and residents planning to open the store to strengthen the community…Cindy Warner, owner of Zaccaro’s, said she would advise the coalition to set up the store as a nonprofit and use it to train people in nutrition, food preparation and grocery operations. “That could help keep their labor costs down,” she said. Another idea is to join a co-op to gain purchasing power, she said. Warner said she wishes them luck. “The only failure is in not trying,” she said. [via]

This is just a collection of things I think are neat.

A general overview of 'things I think are neat':abandonment/the post-industrial midwest, anarchism (syndicalism, insurrectionalism, etc), race/ethnicity (esp. defining/constructing the boundaries of whiteness), gender, class (talking/thinking about class generally seems to be an underrated activity), health care (access to, the experience of obtaining, etc), art, science fiction, punk music, conservative talk radio and anthropology (which probably incorporates almost everything else about people).
