2008 wishes

I’m not making any New Year’s resolutions per se this year. So instead, I thought I’d share my “wish list” for things I’d like to see in 2008:

*A totally (or even mostly) vegetarian restaurant for Winston-Salem. Hey, a woman can dream, right?

*A Trader Joe’s for Winston-Salem. You know, that space in Thruway where Fresh Market used to be is still empty.... Though I do shudder to think about what this would do to the already heavy traffic at Thruway.

*I’m glad to see more vegetarian frozen meals cropping up in area supermarkets. Now, I’d just like to see them be cheaper!

*A national commitment to reducing our impact on the environment and an increased interest in environmental issues.

*More people bringing their own reusable bags to the grocery store.

*Logistically, I know this isn’t possible, but Whole Foods really needs a bigger parking lot. That place is a madhouse no matter what time of day you go, and the parking spaces simply aren’t big enough for the many SUVs that always seem to be there. Maybe they need to just move to a new location with more space inside the store and out. I think the demand has outgrown the store already.

Do you have any 2008 wishes for Winston-Salem or the vegetarian world in general?
