Mi Tierra Supermarket Owner:  Pedro Diaz Opened:  2011 Cooperative:  Krasdale Location:  32-66 97th St, Jackson Heights, NY Photographed:  July 2018 & December 2018 Our second Mi Tierra Supermarket! (See the first here .) There are two more in Queens, one on Roosevelt Ave here in Jackson Heights and one east on 37th Ave in Corona, along with another in Hazleton, PA. My photos come from two separate occasions on which I was driving by this store (no, I was not actually driving the car on either occasion). This one is also located on Northern Blvd, but for whatever reason, its street address is on 97th St (the cross street). Unlike the other one, this was a Strauss Auto, not another supermarket, before Mi Tierra. It's possible, though, that the building housed a supermarket before Strauss Auto.

Mi Tierra Supermarket Owner:  Pedro Diaz Opened:  ca. 2010 Cooperative:  Krasdale Location:  81-02 Northern Blvd, Jackson Heights, NY Photographed:  December 2018 Make sure you saw our tour of the Food Bazaar over on The Market Report yesterday! We're heading east on Northern Blvd (away from Manhattan, towards Long Island, for anyone who's not familiar with the area). Today's post is a pretty quick look at a former Met Food that was extensively renovated around 2010 to a really beautiful store. I hope to get interior pictures one of these days.

From here on, The Market Report , The Independent Edition, and  Grocery Archaeology  will be posting stores entirely geographically. I'm switching to this instead of the random kind of chronological kind of not order I had done previously based on the themed weeks I've had. I hope it'll be easier to read! To begin with, for the new year, we're going to Queens, NY! And I don't think we've ever been there. So all of the stores we're about to see are brand-new. We'll be taking a look at them a few neighborhoods at a time, starting in the northwestern corner of the borough, with Long Island City, Jackson Heights, and Corona. This group will have posts on The Market Report and The Independent Edition. Come back on January 1st for our first store tour!
