Yesterday, I spoke with the receptionist at Operation Breakthrough.  I asked her if she knew of any grocery stores in the area that closed.  She recalled "Country Mart" on 31st and Prospect as being one.   It was her favorite store.  "It's terrible because old people and people without cars or means no longer can get the groceries they need easily," she said.
