Thanks for all of the additional grocery store ideas everyone. We opted to ride the bus to Rainbow Foods this time around, and it actually turned out to be pretty nice. Maybe we'll expand our net a little bit more next time. There's a Kowalski's and a Lund's in Uptown and the Wedge isn't too far away. Trader Joe's is a bit farther afield (St. Louis Park), but probably worth checking out. Meaghan's sister raves about that place all the time.
One place we probably won't be looking at too seriously is Cup Foods. It's only three blocks south of us on Chicago, but we haven't taken the time to stumble down there yet. When we do, it will apparently be in the middle of the afternoon on a bright, sunny day. Google is a wonderful tool. I also found something out about that place on the corner that we went to earlier last week, Toni's. Now I don't want people to start freaking out or refusing to come visit us because they think it's too dangerous. These are simply the kinds of things that exist in fair cities like this one.
On the other hand, we're literally right across the street from our neighborhood association and the Pillsbury House Community Center and Theatre. Over the next few weeks, I hope to expand my exploration beyond our block and the nearby corner. There's bound to be tons more cool (and not so cool) things to do and see in the neighborhood. Maybe I'll even get to eat at Seafood To Go.

I have never been to Seafood To Go, but something seems a bit fishy about a seafood place that doesn't want you to stay. Like maybe it won't be too long after you eat there that you have to, uh, well...go. Best of luck though and it may even be a great place to dine.
Urrv, I hope "fishy about a seafood place" was an intentional pun.
Hey, you live on my block! Don't park in the back. Your car will probably get broken into! And I would avoid Cup Foods at all costs. Toni's Market is OK for the quick pick up.
Hi Adam. I could tell from your blog that you lived somewhere in the area, but that's cool that we're on the same block.
Luckily we have a garage and driveway at our place so the car should be relatively safe, but thanks for the tip.
Drove by Cup Foods the other day, and it looked even dodgier than I was expecting. We'll see...
bjkail - it was indeed intentional.
