Face it. With the news that Safeway has recently bought Randalls for over a billion dollars, big supermarkets are here to stay. But this shopping experience doesn't always have to be cold and impersonal. In fact, some stores actually serve as a neighborhood's central hub, a place where a true cross section of folks are found. The HEB on South Congress is such a place. Both the shoppers and employees come from the same neighborhood pool, so the atmosphere is open and unpretentious. Oh yeah, they have a huge selection and cheap prices, too.
