Now that's interesting.  Having never been in a Trader Joe's, but shopping 
regularly at Wegmans, I had no idea it was anything special.  Then again, 
I'm used to a wide variety of items being available in Ithaca.  We may be 
small, but we have a lot of international visitors/students thanks to Cornell.
