Dunbar produce
June 7th, 2021 — Dunbar Produce on Dunbar Street has been closed for about three years; the block the building sits on waiting for development. It doesn’t now, and never did, look like much but it had connections to local farms that no big box store had and their produce was always fresh off the farm, not fresh off the boat. It’s not sure why they closed but high taxes and high rents entered into it for sure. When the new building is eventually built I doubt there will be a produce store like it on the ground floor.
