On the one hand, downtown is kind of still a grocery desert since IGA and HMart are still gone. So it sucks that PCC is leaving.

I had no idea this was a thing. How awful. We have a family member in a short-term rehabilitation facility right now and it’s extremely chaotic there, lots of turnover. I wonder if they are using these apps, which would add to the chaos. Definitely something to ask about if you have an older family member who will need assisted living or a skilled nursing facility…as if those decisions aren’t hard enough.
