Hipsters, Start Saving Your Paychecks: Whole Foods Coming to Silver Lake

Just heard on WTFpod with Marc Maron that Brendan Walsh did it as a joke! Pretty funny! 

the whole foods twitter cant confirm it, plus i dont think silverlake meets the minimum $65,000 neighborhood income to qualify.

(google that tho.)

I live right by here. The circuit city building is still filled with tons of used office furniture, I'm guessing it's some sort of consignment warehouse. Since the sign has been up, they seem to not be clearing out of that space. So I would take this with a grain of salt.

Um... there's already a Gelson's and a Trader Joe's in Silverlake. Who the frick cares about a Whole Foods?

very cool post! thnks

Thats good article this is really nice !)Thanks for you article)!

The Militant just LOVES how LAist just 4 years ago was an online bastion of hipsterism but now in 2011 they make hipsters the butt of jokes. Gotta love progress! :)

The Militant also remembers when this building used to be The Akron!

What was the Akron?

Woah.  The Akron.... 0_o
Now THERE'S a name I haven't heard (or even thought about!) for yarons.
You must be Of An Advanced Age like me, M.A.!  0>;>)=

My b/f says I have beautiful skin and it has inspired me to try and eat more foods to keep my skin as beautiful as it is now. Any suggestions on what foods to eat?

Eat a dick, spammer.

hipsters at whole foods? really? hmmmm!  whole foods, the company that has been challenged on their claims of "organic" numerous times? the company that was forced to close 13 stores in a settlement with the FTC after acquiring Wild Oats? the company whose CEO, John Mackey, doesn't believe climate change is real and who fought against President Obama's health care plan and doesn't offer coverage to his employees? hmmmmmm! I'll drive out of my way to give my paycheck to a different company, thank you

lookin like its a hoax!

I hear it's a hoax.
Still, haters love to hate.
So don't let me stop you.

"Silverlake" as one word? I'm with Doran: Ho Ax!

Yeah, that sign has one too many fonts on it to sit well with me. 

That would be hilarious!

And maybe there would still be a chance for a "Sprouts" in that location. They have a large selection of healthy foods, great bulk bins and way, way better prices than Whole Foods.

That would be the ultimate Silver Lake hoax to pull right now.

personally I like the $3.99 organic hamburger and fries (or bbq beans) fridays at my whole foods. Fills me up for less then McDonalds. 

"and enough $6 gluten-free vegan frozen lunches to take to microwave at your shitty day job to tide you over until the next payday"

did lol. 

That's really Silverlake? Not Los Feliz?

It's East Hollywood. But nobody can turn down the opportunity to make fun of Silverlake hipsters on a technicality.

Scumbag gentrifiers: Move to an area for its "uniqueness", jump for joy when a nationwide chain moves in. 

scumbag gxl: makes self-righteous statement without any supporting evidence, decries circuit city analogy for not providing evidence

"makes self-righteous statement without any supporting evidence" - I guess a picture of guy literally jumping for joy is not supportive evidence to you. 

photo of guy jumping is not evidence that he moved there for "uniqueness", so your original statement is baseless.

very insightful

Yes, because we lost such a homespun/mom and pop stereo store in Circuit City when it closed... are you really this stupid ?

Your reading comprehension is so advanced that you were able to extract my love and devotion to all things Circuit City out of a sentence that never mentioned them once. Congratulations and enjoy your fancy olive bar and cheese samples.
