When I heard that Whole Foods was opening right down the street from where I live in Avondale, I started counting down the days until the grand opening.

As a young girl, a treat would be getting an ice cream (specifically banana pudding - it’s the best!) from the iconic ice cream parlor and taking a quick tour of downtown.
