Welcome to my blog -- it's under construction

Greetings, fans of Trader Joe's. We unleashed a petition to get Trader Joe's to come to Nashville yesterday and we just hit 300 signatures already.

You can find that petition here:

I hope we can use this site as an opportunity to spread the word, answer questions and share strategy ideas. I imagine we'll find other uses as we go along. I'm new to this whole blogging thing, so I welcome your advice and assistance and ask for your patience.

Thanks to the many folks who have offered their assistance to this effort and to everyone who signed the petition. Hopefully, we can increase the availability of affordable, quality groceries in Nashville in the near future.
