Colfax Ave. I believe a grocery store and pharmacy would be a welcomed and very reasonable <br />addition to the downtown area. <br />With the population of residents increasing in the downtown area and focus on making South Bend a <br />more "walkable" community, this store is a crucial part of continued growth for South Bend. <br />I live in Sunnymede and often ride my bike or walk downtown to work, visit local restaurants, stores, and <br />friends. The one thing missing is a grocery store and pharmacy. Access to a grocery/pharmacy in the <br />downtown area would enhance the lives of current residents and make living in an' d around downtown <br />more desirable place to buy a home. <br />Purchasing a home means residents care and are invested in their community thus increasing property <br />values and impacting neighborhoods in a positive way. <br />I am a homeowner in neighborhood adjacent to downtown South Bend. Owner since 1994. <br />Jill La Fountain <br />(574)261 -8858 <br />1224 Longfellow Ave. <br />South Bend, IN. 46615 <br />
