Most likely because they don't sell as frequent as the other locations, which results in their produce going bad. There's a lot of other competition over there.

Lot of the stuff they sell was frozen during transport. Looks good on the outside but rotten/dark inside.
I want to let you know that this is a lie. There are way more cases, they don't want to cause a panic.
My wife has been telling me about cases at her hospital for WEEKS, then they came on the news and acted like the one of friday was the first one. I almost want to start wearing a mask

When did aurora get so grimey
Bought some power tools off a dude out here from Craigslist earlier, it’s a sketchy vibe out there Fr
I went to high school in Waubonsie Valley which is in West Aurora which is the typical whitebread upper middle class Chicago burb.......but East Aurora has always been grimy since the 90s. It's basically like the Mexican version of somewhere like Dolton/Riverside/Chicago Heights...dirty and grimy as fukk
West Aurora is not upper middle class. St. Charles, Glen Ellyn and Elmhurst are upper middle class.
I thought Waubonsie was in Naperville? I had cousins that went to Nequa.
I had to drop somebody off in Roseland last week. I was pleasantly surprised. There is a whole area of Roseland with tree-lined streets and well-cared for homes. Look just like some sections of Morgan Park/Beverly. 
Brehs from Roseland, does that area see much crime? I couldn’t really picture Yummy Sandifer running through those streets.
I can’t really recall where exactly but it was abutting the east side of Halsted.

I lived in roseland from 1980 - 2010, and the truth is it's from block to block. It's funny that you bought up yummy, they found his body a block down from mine on 108th where there used to be a pedestrian walkway under the metra/freight tracks. Shavon was supposed to be in my Division at Corliss, we had a moment of silence for her on the first day of school, it was sad.
But anyway my dad still lives off 109th, his block is still beautiful and peaceful filled with homeowners who moved there in the 70's and 80's. Even the elderly whites who were too old to flee stayed until they died in the late 90's and never got messed with. However I personally know 4 people who were killed on the very next block west of us, where there were all apartments and open air drug dealing. That's basically the story of roseland, if you had a good block club, with homeowners who cared it was a good place to raise a kid, if "the element" out numbered the "civilians" then it could be problematic. You just had to be aware of where you were, and where you went, and who you knew as a teenager. Like for instance, I was messing with a girl that lived in "the valley" off 113th and Edbrooke, and the only reason I could even walk over there without getting robbed after sunset was cause I was cool with some of the Blackstones. Or I lived in a GD neighborhood, so my people that were 4's and Moe's from Corliss were super shook to come to my side. But even at the height of the gang wars in the 90's the nice blocks still stayed nice. They did dirt where they knew folks weren't going to call the cops on them. I moved west in 2010 after this current generation of dusthead pill popping dread dudes with no principles started running around stupid. They don't care where they are or who's around, of if they're messing up their own money.
I could tell Roseland stories for days.
Did you know Shavon or Yummy personally?
Yeah I was kind of taken aback in that area of Roseland.
Seems like my anxiety would be through the roof trying to navigate streets and shyt.
Was Corliss the Wild Wild West? I bet you got stories. Which was the grimiest school, Corliss or Fenger?
Indulge a suburbreh.
Its blocks and lil pockets in the hunnids that look just as nice any block in mt greenwood or Beverly. My grandma lived off 103rd & King Dr from 1969-2019. She always tells me how they was one of the first black families on they block. One thing you gotta understand is Roseland was like the Orland of its day. It was department stores, shops all down Michigan. My grandma worked at Gatelys in the 70s. Mom went to St Willabroad @FocusedDailyI had to drop somebody off in Roseland last week. I was pleasantly surprised. There is a whole area of Roseland with tree-lined streets and well-cared for homes. Look just like some sections of Morgan Park/Beverly.

Everything changed when the factories closed. Wisconsin steel, Sherwin Williams, Pullman rail etc
I’d say it’s some real nice pockets of Roseland East of Michigan. I stay near Gwendolyn Brooks off 111th and it’s quiet but still

idk bro that's my area and that's the go-to grocery store in the area untill u go east towards downtown u run into jewels Mariano's and whole foods on Halsted and Roosevelt. You probably caught then on a bad day.every item I bought I get is fresh from Pete's so idk if you shop at different locations and different grocery store chains you can tell which produce is really organic. I just know not to buy certain foods from certain grocery chains just on my experience and research. I stay away from Walmart food,ultra foods,save alot Aldi's and food for less all of these are lower tier grocery stores in the Chicago land area. Only spots I shop with is Pete's 95% of the time only shop at jewels if in the downtown area at the moment and I only buy certain foods n supplements from whole foods btw I never stepped foot Insidr a trader Joe's so I can't speak on them

My mom went to corilss she use to hoop n be a cheerleader lol I think from what she told me (she graduated in 81) so she was out there on the Southside from wat I was told westside was worst then outsouth then in the early mid late 90s up into 00s Southside became worst now it's bout even now after all of the bricks got knocked downDid you know Shavon or Yummy personally?

I used to live on 107th and Langley and my family still owns buildings over there. Every male in my family that grew up over there got shot, ended up in prison or became a lil gangbanger.
I wouldnt even roll through over there nowadays

Yeah, a couple of the fathers on my block growing up worked at the steel mills, post office, The City/.County (my pops). Nobody was balling, but it was comfortable lower middle class as much as there were scary pockets.
The chick I was talking about on my post lived down the block from St Willabroad. I knew lots of older black women who went there in the 70's and 80's as roseland was turning black. By the 90's it was no longer open, and at some point i think became a school for troubled kids. But like I was saying block by block, Edbrooke was scary, there would be prostitutes hanging over there, folks hustling broad day, but two blocks over ?? A year later was messing with a chick on 114th and Prairie (two blocks east), and she lived in one of the nicest houses I'd ever been in.at that point in my life. Whole block immaculate lawns etc.
Sidenote: The one on the scary block lived with her 5 brothers and mom on section 8 in a terrible rental, but I was 16 and her mother didn't care and let us smash at their house, it was worth the risks honestly.

St Charles is old money but Glen Ellyn and Elmhurst arent really that posh
There are areas in Aurora near Fox Valley Mall that have 300-500K homes. I'm more talking the area around the mall and Eola Rd not like Downtown Aurora which is more regular
Waubonsie is in Aurora but is basically on the border with Naperville. I actually lived 5 minutes from Neuqua but it wasnt built yet so I went to Waubonsie. My sister is 2 years younger so she ended up going there.
My pops worked at Bell Labs and it was pretty high paying job(6 figures bac in the 90s) and most of his blac co-workers who made $$ lived in West Aurora, Lisle or Naperville
