<P>Bill,</P>
<P>Are you sure the Food Co-op is zoned correctly for downtown. Because last I heard grocery stores were not allowed in downtown. Just checking, because I do not want "love for the code" crusaders to kick the Co-op out of downtown. I happen to think the Co-op serves the best ice cream in the Palouse.<BR><BR></P><BR><BR><BR>
