| Heinen's Cleveland, left, future Kimpton Hotel center. |
Okay. I admit it already. I fibbed last week when I posted all those photos. I wasn't downtown on a whim, I was covering the opening of the new Heinen's grocery store for Fresh Water.
Here's my article.

| Heinen's grand opening |
I write a lot about CLE in these hallowed pages, but there is something about the Heinen's project that marks a turning point. The grand opening was simply thrilling.

I love that the Heinen family has elevated their family business to unprecedented heights: yes, a local grocer is worthy of selling hamburger, canned corn and paper towels in the grandest of spaces. Yes, every shopper, deserves to browse aisles in a building fit for royalty.

Between this, the new Kimpton Hotel going into the historic Schofield Building across the street and the Metropolitan at the 9 in the center of it all, the corner of Euclid and East 9th Street in Cleveland is soon to be one of the premier addresses in the country.

This is Cleveland, people. There is no stopping this town now.

It's always a joy when old stuff, like me, is saved and transported to the present in a wonderful way.
I'm all for Historic Preservation but I find a bunch of people beaming and hovering over groceries from a balcony a bit peculiar (and I have a high tolerance for peculiar). Do they take foodstamps?

Nevermind. They accept Ohio Direction and Illinois link card. Won't cash your gov't check though.

Hey RJ--You may already know this, but to other interested folks, Heinen's is a regional grocery chain with an up-scale image and reputation.

I would soooo love to shop there.
@MR-
Never heard of them until now.
RJ
No problem, RJ-They never heard of you, too.

Hi gang. Sorry to be so quiet, but ol' Erin's been so so so busy.
