Prospective newcomers to Great Neck will most likely share the same considerations my husband and I had 40 years ago when we became homeowners in the community.
Our priorities included the quality of the school system, the proximity of transportation, recreational and cultural opportunities and the availability of supermarkets within a short distance from our home.
Living in Great Neck has lived up to our expectations until recently.
It seems that we have a paucity of supermarkets with Waldbaums and Associated the only two choices available.
Bankruptcy issues make it likely that Waldbaums will not be in town much longer and we are in need of at least two replacement supermarkets, one at each end of town.
Our seniors as well as families with young children should not have to venture to neighboring communities to food shop.
Stop and Shop and ShopRite are two supermarkets that provide both choice and fair pricing.
We do not need trendy food shopping with exorbitant prices.
To keep Great Neck as desirables as it once was, this problem needs to be quickly addressed.
