I live in the Bowl and am sad to see Save-On Foods leaving Parkwood, but what is the real reason they are leaving? Is it because of theft and panhandling?
The problem will just follow them, it’s the new norm. We need a grocery store in the area. Maybe a Thrifty Foods or an IGA. There has to be some chain willing to move into the area.
The city needs to get on it and find one. The city needs to do something about the panhandlers and the street campers and the garbage they leave behind in our downtown. It's very sad.
Prince George has become a magnet for no Income people from all over Canada. Because we have good hearts, we try to help but it has become overwhelming and too much to handle.
I don't think our city knows what to do about it.
