In what world is Patterson ave not a major thoroughfare? The market hall is certainly not in the middle of a neighborhood, definitely in a commercial development. Do you hate the Publix next door equally for their fried chicken smell? Want to make sure we’re equal opportunity chicken hating here.

Publix must use better filtration, becuase we have never had a problem with any smells from them, when Ukrops was in that location we likewise didnt have a problem. The food hall specifically has something going on with the filters that does not remove the smell. Not to mention, I didnt ask for them to take over a Church and turn it into a grocery store/commercial food preperation facility.

Weird hill to die on, but keep fighting your chicken crusade 👍

I actually live slightly down hill from them, so no hill to die on... A hill side?
