Meatball noted and I was able to confirm that the Williamsburg Hy-Vee is about to expand. That in itself isn't so surprising. What is surprising is that it means the long-running rumors were actually true. How often does that happen?
The expansion will add some 15% to the store's area, bringing it to about 82,000 square feet. New features will include an in-store Caribou Coffee and an expanded alcohol section that will have its own entrance, just like the store on North 84th Street (and O Street?).
Along with the VA regional office, that makes two fairly substantial bits of news for Williamsburg in recent days. Maybe the area is getting a little momentum.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
“... alcohol section that will have its own entrance, just like the store on North 84th Street (and O Street?). “
I think it’s 84th and Holdridge.
Right-o. I probably should have written “(and the store on 50th and O Street?)”.
How dare they do that without consulting the surrounding neighborhoods and the Journal Star!
I come from a family of liquor store owners so booze in grocery stores still seems weird to me. It’s a good idea to separate the grocery area from the alcohol area though, very easy for kids to snag booze and walk out without paying when it’s simply sitting in an aisle.
Is that a dig on the Uni-place neighborhood? HA! :D
