The fresh meat, the smoked salmon that I crave, the locally grown vegetables that will never see a Publix (greenwise or not), and the effusively friendly counter and cash register people I call friends. RIP Whaley's, I'll miss you and your convenience. I, too, am tragically saddened by the demise of Whaley’s.
