Fresh Fanatic, A Definite Plus

I’ve always said the one bad thing about living in this area was the lack of grocery stores.

Fresh Fanatic To The Rescue

They provide butcher service, sell Murray’s Chicken, stock fancy cheese
and offer fresh baked bread.
Their prices seem reasonable.
The manager said we can make requests.
They are only 10 blocks from our house. I can walk there and haul the Grannie cart home,
no sweat.
The B61 stops a few steps from their main entrance.
They are open until 9pm.
Fresh Fanatic is far enough from the school on Park & N Oxford that they will not be overrun
with kiddies buying 25 cent packs of chips.
No 40’s, blunts or 25 cent packs of chips!

Hello WP Seo Bummer

POST UPDATED AUGUST 22 2009!

Version 1.6.4.1 of the All In One Seo Pack once again provides SEO for WP-E-Commerce sites.
Platinum SEO Pack still does not provide SEO for WP-E-Commerce sites.
The following post was not written as an attack against any plugin, WordPress or puppies and kittens. I was simply mourning the loss of something awesome.Which is now back and better than evah!

~~Used to be that you could use the All in One SEO Pack plugin~~ (along with a code that you inserted between your header.php’s title tags) and you could have unique page titles on WP-E-Commerce Product Pages. It was really great.

~~But Not Anymore!~~ And installing Platinum SEO Pack does nothing for this issue,either. OK, so I am not sure if it is the SEO plugins, the title tag code, WP 2.8.4 or the new version (3.7.1, not yet upgraded to 3.7.2) of the WP-E-Commerce plugin causing the de functionality of something that was totally beautiful and necessary: unique page titles for Product Pages.

All I know is older versions of all of these(except the title tag code-that is the same) let me have a unique page title when on a single product page. But upgrading everything else means all single product pages bear the exact same page title as the main product page which equals as many duplicate page title warnings in Google Webmaster Tools as you have products. So if you have 2 products, not so bad. If you have 1,200 products,not so good. Because why? Unique page titles rock, duplicate page titles do not rock, that’s why. Unique page titles mean better search results with better information passed to the online shopper, better business for online shop-keepers.

Want SEO for WP-E-Commerce sites ? Upgrade to Version 1.6.4.1 of the All In One Seo Pack !

Fresh Fanatic Opens August 4th

PS this store actually had their grand opening on August 18th. I am sorry if this post inconvenienced anybody.

Long, long time the dark side of Park Ave in Fort Greene, BKLYN has decidedly not been a happening part of town. Oh sure you could hike it to Myrtle or Jay st and find all sorts of nice things like restaurants,bars and shops and you could always get your nails done. But the rainy,icy,blazing hot days when you could not face the walk you were stuck with whatever you could scrounge up closer to home. Washington Ave (only 10 blocks from my house) seemed like the only side street interested in providing to the amenity starved residents. Although these always fell a bit short. The dubious worth of RePop lurking a few doors beyond the tastiness of Mojitoes(Kitchen Nightmares recently filmed there,though so the tastiness must have dropped off somewhat. ) And Il Porto. Pizza. A bit of a yawn.

So apart from booking a massage or eating or buying a Vespa this is just one of those areas you find yourself walking past while going somewhere else.

Then TA DA! Fresh Fanatic. I first spotted their sign in May or June-ish. My BF’s bro who lives across the st., said it was going to be a Fresh Direct supermarket. But we take whatever he says with a grain of salt. Turns out it is going to be some sort of supermarket something this drugfront bodega laden (a couple of 40’s and a strawberry flavored blunt and a pack of chips are not groceries) area could use. Maybe I can soon buy a green pepper and a carton of eggs without inconveniencing the mustachioed lady proprietor of my corner store? Yes, August 4th, the Grand Opening of Fresh Fanatic! Lets just hope the store will have more in it than its website does.
Fingers crossed.
