Hazelwood may be a food desert, but in the neighborhood’s mostly vacant commercial corridor, you can still enjoy a “little taste of France” at a bakery occupying the site of a former grocery store.
The nearest grocery store is a Giant Eagle a mile and a half up the hill in Greenfield, and some longtime residents like Saundra Cole-McKamey, 58, wonder who the bakery is for.
“We didn't ask for that at all,” she said. It’s a small example of development that doesn’t “ask what we want. They put in here what they think we want.” Some want to know whether coming development will reflect neighborhood needs.
