Vanessa Grocery on South Whitney had closed in the last year. Recently, after some much-needed remodeling, a store reopened in the same location. It’s far more presentable on the inside and outside. So, for those in the neighborhood who were lamenting the disappearance of a local (non-CVS, non-gas station) place to buy junkfood, bacon, and smokes, despair no longer.

I used to live on that street and believe Vanessa used to sell liquor to minors. Maybe that’s why they closed? Or perhaps due to overpriced lemons, 3 for $5.

My understanding was that there was some trouble related to the liquor license.
