what a huge disappointment.

A bummer for sure, especially since PDC will invariably end up spending that money on something far more worthless.

I'm still kind of confused as to why a big box store like Uwajimaya are cool, while Walmart is considered the demon spawn of retail, but I don't shop at either, so whatever.

I can't get umeboshi or natto miso at Walmart, Chuck. Or konpeito, mochi, enoki, kaffir leaves, cheap(!) soy sauce and vinegars and oils and enough sake to fill the Willamette.

I hate driving to Beaverton but sesame oil at any local (non-asian) market is like $8 for a 3 ounce bottle. Same with Sriracha. This is laaame.

Downtown Fubonn, anyone?

@ cat & beard: It's small, but Vieng Lao, an Asian grocery on North Killingsworth and I-5, has just about everything on your list; plus fresh fish and crabs (swimming) and a butcher and pretty good produce. All at great prices, far better than Uwajimaya.

Building looks exactly like Museum Place, the one with Safeway on the 1st floor at SW 10th & Jeff

Shoot... Might be a net positive for the east side since a close in Uwajimaya might cannabalize some of the smaller markets out here. Lords knows we need all the small positives we can gather.

With that said, it would be splendid to have some non-low income housing in Old Town around the "new and improved" crack alley.

Then again, Fubonn v. 2.0 in Old Town would be tight. Keep it local, kids.

We really need a Don Quijote, but, still, this would've been cool.

Well, damn, looks like I still gotta treck out to the westside every couple weeks for the wifes books and magazines. And strange food stuffs.

Hate on Beaverton now you whiny Pearl Dwellers. Ha!
