But if we're going to be petty, neither of those is on Irving Street. I wasn't insinuating that there is nowhere to buy salt nearby. It was just an attempt at wit, a rhetorical flourish. Thanks for commenting. I never said it was a food desert, nor do I deny that Target and Giant are near. But if we’re going to be petty, neither of those is on Irving Street.

Right, because Target (which expanded its grocery recently) isn't in the same building as the Ellwood Thompson, and a new Giant isn't a block away. Columbia Heights is not a food desert. “If only I had a grocery store on my block, from which to buy it.”
