Granola crunchers now have something to distract from the worries of global warming during this mild winter. Our favorite Trader named Joe is finally coming to town. Just as we were all tiring of buying our oat bran and soy beans at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s plans to build a store at 1211 Chicago Avenue. This will be the very first of Joe’s outposts in Evanston and just the 14th in the state. Mayor Tisdahl said that the prospect of Trader Joe’s proves that Evanston’s economy is on the rise. The store is set to open the first quarter of 2013, so until then we’ll have to busy ourselves with making hemp bracelets and growing out our dreads.
