Turning a corner is not a one-step process. It is a process that takes many steps and coordination to succeed. Fulton Foods in Ohio City is doing its part to help the neighborhood continue to turn the corner to a safer, even more welcoming area. They are doing so in a bold, and admittedly risky way--they are no longer selling cheap wine and 40 ounce beers that tend to end up littering the neighborhood and leading to less than pleasant encounters with the imbibers of this kind of swill. There are plenty of customers for Wild Irish Rose and the kind of rot-gut beer that is sold in 40 ouncers, but the owners of Fulton Foods know that the future of the neighborhood is in the kind of people who eat at Momocho and Johnny Mango across the street, not the kind of people who use the nearby library as a personal nap room and outdoor rest room.
I commend them for taking this bold step and ask that any readers who live in or near Ohio City to head over to Fulton Foods, buy some great wine or beer (they have an amazing selection), and thank them for their bold, welcome action.
You can find Fulton Foods at:

Even though this article is long old, I felt it necessary to point out the utter condescension this writer has for the residents of Ohio City who were there long before he arrived. I'm one of them. And I don't drink 'swill'. It's meaningless for me to tilt against gentrification, but have some humility, Writer, some respect.
