Check out this story on Michael Bauer's blog for the rundown.
It is beyond me that the closing of this chapter of North Berkeley has not even attracted a single comment. People just don't understand the gem that it is and won't really know what they have lost until it is gone.
Thanks for putting this up, it is just sad that there is so little that we as the community that shops there can do except wait and see what happens.
please forgive me--i have no intention of [ab]using this site to further my own agenda; however, i would be very interested to hear some thoughts regarding the possibility and potential efficacy of an employee strike. it seems to me that, without Bill's knowledge and enthusiasm, Monterey Market is going to deteriorate in quality and, therefore, appeal over time. This, in turn, could threaten the jobs of the employees. Could this, paired with a shared desire for Bill's return, "save" the Market? Furthermore, could this effort additionally attract the support of a clientele conglomerate?
