OPEN MARKET
Carbondalians have been talking about a new City Market since almost the day the chain purchased and expanded the old Circle Soopers. When the culmination of decades of planning came to fruition, however, its fanfare was somewhat muted by COVID-19. The old store closed a couple of hours early and the new one opened as usual on Aug. 26 without any special ceremony — though at least there were big balloons. The intimidation of a vast and almost eerily well-stocked store was mitigated by all the familiar (albeit masked) faces, both among the shoppers — unusually plentiful for a Wednesday morning — and the staff. Delma Casali was right there to help one of the very first customers through the line. Photo by Sue Rollyson
