Our neighborhood grocery store of 35 years went out of business due to the rising cost of real estate, and the rampant big-box "blandalization" of New York City. The KGB Spy Museum moved into the building where the grocery store used to be, and I began collecting flyers from the museum each time I walked by. Yes, We Have No Grocery Store Anymore" combines food and spy-craft metaphors as a parody of the loss of value associated with community; and the usurping of something essential by a less than covert free-market.
