The area is much more vibrant now. I like co-ops (we're members of The Wedge), and while I don't think overall that this is gentrification in action, there is legitimate concern for bringing in a grocery that is out of the price range of many in the neighborhood.

The Nicollet and 38th street intersection is definitely being gentrified with restaurants that cater to a higher income than people in the surrounding area have.

We have friends who live on 38th and Nicollet and they are disappointed that there aren't more economically viable dining options.
