The Greenbelt Co-op's phone lines went out Friday, June 24, and will be out until a new part arrives.
The phone lines went out Friday morning at the Greenbelt Co-op Supermarket and Pharmacy and had not been restored as of Monday evening at 6:20 p.m. So if you’ve been calling and getting continual ringing or a busy signal – like me – no, they’re not ignoring you. Co-op office manager, Betty Edwards, relayed that Verizon came out Monday. After investigating the problem, she said, Verizon reported they had to order a new part in order to make the repair, which they declared to be a top priority. Edwards said they did not provide an estimate for when the part would arrive.

She mixed almond meal together with honey and added nuts and raisins before rolling them in shredded coconut. Siegel recalled first learning the snack in the late '60s from hippies in a commune. Tuesday's recipe came from Cosmic Cookery by Kathryn Hannaford, but Siegel encouraged…

With help of members' input, Greenbelt Co-Op Supermarket and Pharmacy updates its aisles.
A sparkling new floor and ceiling, colorful displays and new refrigeration cases greet customers at the Greenbelt Co-op Supermarket and Pharmacy. As part of a roughly $400,000 renovation that took place over the past year, several improvements were made to the supermarket. But approval for these improvements didn't come from a corporate office somewhere miles away. Approval came from within the co-op, itself, an elected board of directors and member-owners who facilitate the operation of the Greenbelt mainstay. Since Greenbelt was founded in 1937, there have been a variety of grocery cooperatives. The current supermarket, located in Roosevelt Center, opened in 1984, said Bob Davis, the supermarket's general manager. The not-for-profit …
