> How is that being ignorant?

For the reasons i outlined in the rest of my comment. You are wholly incorrect and it is a sentiment often regurgitated by those who dont spend much time in the city or havent for some time. There are 2 CVS's, a walgreens, dozens of markets, delis and bodegas, and there are 2 gas stations all within walking distance. Stop and Shop, Walmart and Aldis <5 drive away and they are all on bus line. CTown and Whole Foods also ~5 mins away. Stop downtown sometime and walk around a bit, everything is at your fingertips.
