TOUR: CTown Supermarkets - Marble Hill

As I hinted at yesterday, we will be touring our first Bronx CTown today, which is located at the southern tip of the business district along Broadway. Believe it or not, this store is technically considered to be in Manhattan -- so yes, the northernmost building in Manhattan is actually in the Bronx. Read more about this almost-paradox here . Today's CTown is visible at the bottom part of the left top strip, or the one straight above the 87 symbol. I have to say, it's not a particularly impressive location from the outside but the inside gets much better. Because the storefront is not particularly visible, the side wall is covered with CTown promotional signage -- four signs, in fact. The entrance faces Broadway, and you enter on the right side of the storefront. Produce and dairy line the double-wide first aisle, with meats on the back wall. The last aisle contains frozen and deli/hot food. Not the most inviting on the front. But it looks much better inside.....
