In todays Nashville Post "permit patrol" comes word that a building right where you were discussing the difficulty of the area residents is being renovated:
Commercial Buildout has pulled permits for the renovation of a former grocery store space at 1125 12th Ave. S., near the intersection with Edgehill Avenue. The new space will house homeless veterans organization Operation Stand Down.

Although like most of these great ideas...they spring from the Bay Area where growing conditions for so many fruits and vegetables are ideal almost year round. There's no reason something like this couldn't work in other areas though.

We're probably well past the days when a fruit and vegetable vendor could walk the streets with a horse-drawn wagon, which is a shame, in my opinion.
