Re/Storing Nashville :: Building Access to Affordable Food

Neighborhood: East Nashville
Story Type: Transportation Issue

My Story:

Don't have a car now. Wasn't hard at first cause I could go when I wanted to or needed to but now I have to go when somebody has time to take me and wait on me at the store. Now I try to go to the store closest to me like Save-a-lot, Kroger, Walmart on Gallatin Road. I will walk if I have to to the nearest store which is Walmart and get things I need for just that week because my house is about two blocks from the bus stop. I will still have to go to the store again before the end of the week and usually end up paying someone to take me by the end of the week, which ends up costing me between $10-15 just getting to the store.
