They are building one in Alexandria.

They are building downtown Wegmans store in Alexandria at Eisenhower Ave (The one you are referencing) and Reston currently. I wouldnt be surprised if they plan a couple more in the DC metro. It's popular around here even with just the few stores they have currently.

Alexandria and Reston will be Urban Versions of Wegmans, but they are supposed to still be massive properties. They are building one right behind my office building in Reston Town Center that should be open by 2021 I believe if I'm remembering correctly.

Also, I just saw that Wegmans is opening an Urban location in Brooklyn slated to open later this year.

"The Brooklyn store is one of three new locations — all in new markets — due to open this year, lifting the grocery chain over the 100-store mark. The company opened a 113,000-square-foot store in Virginia Beach, Va., on April 28 and is planning a 100,000-square-foot store in Raleigh, N.C. No opening date has been announced yet for the Raleigh location."

"In late October, the retailer announced a fifth planned location for North Carolina, in Wake Forest. Other stores slated for the state are in Cary, West Cary and Chapel Hill.

Other new stores planned by Wegmans include locations in Greenville, Del.; Annapolis and Rockville, Md.; Washington, D.C. (in the former Fannie Mae campus); Alexandria, Arcola, Reston and Tysons Corner, Va.; and Middletown, N.J."

I them to get closer to the NC coast. That's where I want to move in a few years.

They're supposed to open one in DC on Wisconsin Ave, in the old Fannie Mae building.
They're really expanding a lot in the DC metro area.

It's almost enough to move back to DC.

Price Chopper put one in Saratoga Springs...

Like most things price chopper - it sux.

The concept of their Saratoga Springs store is exactly what's needed though. Bottom floor of a building with apartments (condos) in the floors above. Would love to see Healthy Living Market or The Fresh Market come to downtown. Have been to both in Saratoga and they seem like they would fit right in to an upscale urban setting.
 
Hey I know Chucks claimed it was going to reopen somewhere. I’ve been out of the loop. Anyone know if that is still in play? Any movement along those lines?

They were supposed to go into the new building that took its place, but since I believe they filed a lawsuit against the developers, those plans are shot. Haven't heard anything new, but there aren't really any other places currently available on the Hill for them to occupy, that I know of.

lots of people don't know what the term "public good" means

non rivalrous and non excludeable

clean air public good. I can't exclude you from breathing it (non-excludeable) and you breathing it doesn't reduce my ability to breath it (non-rivalrous)

national defense public good. i can't exclude you from being defended by our military and you getting defended doesn't reduce the benefit I get

train not a public good. easy to exclude people who don't pay (excludeable). me taking a seat means one less seat for everyone else (rivalrous)

most people think of public good as "something I think is nice and would love to not have to pay for"

If more people are able to avail themselves of good public transportation, the air becomes cleaner.

As to national defense--the money needs to be spent wisely. A real argument that this is not happening made by Bret Stephens (from the right) making the point that our billion-dollar systems are vulnerable to our potential adversaries' million-dollar systems.

Lol. You crack me up with this definitional silliness. Everything the government does costs money, and we all pay. The courthouse has a metal detector and a finite number of seats - should we burn it down because some are excluded? The NYS thruway holds a finite number of cars and has a toll ... should we tear it up? Maybe you should find an island somewhere with a spear and a photo of Gary Johnson.

we have a courthouse as part of our police system which is a public good (you can't exclude people from the benefits of police protection and the benefits i get from us having laws and police doesn't reduce the benefits you get)

you guys get to say "public good" when trying to convince people to pay for what you want but when I talk about what the term actually means, you think it's definitional silliness

Trains are hardly a pet project. They're part of the transportation infrastructure - a huge, interstate system that has to be built and maintained (toll or no toll) by the government. Cost is a constant for every government activity, whether it's paid for through a fee, a toll or a tax. The fact that some public services are diffuse (provided to the general population, e.g., the military) while others "exclude", i.e., serve a certain geographic area or a large group, is meaningless. Mass transit benefits the general population - even those who don't drive - because it reduces traffic and lowers road maintenance costs. Should we scrap the NYC subway because some citizens live upstate? Should we tear up the NYS thruway system because not everyone drives? Should we burn down the libraries and concert halls because some can't read or don't appreciate performing arts? Your world-view is primitive - like Fury Road.

Which is the stronger logical connection? Courthouse metal-detectors and general police activities vs. mass transit and pollution?
