we happened to be driving by h-mart tonight and we turned into their
lot. my wife thought it was opening day but it is tomorrow. we were able
to stand in the doorway and look around. it is very well lit and shiny
looking. :) as it is said, they are the asian whole foods! :)
the parking lot next to the building was very full but that was all the
imported workers. we were told the lot would be cleared and the cars
parked at the hotel where many seem to be staying. plates were seen from
nj and ny.
anyhow, i think i will be able to make walter's tour next saturday and i
am looking forward to that.

I drove by later, and it must have opened in the interim. You
couldn't even get near the place. First I saw cars just streaming
(or creeping?) out of that back lot, other cars parked in the
grass on the side. You could see the lot was totally full of
parked cars and other cars looking for parking. Since I had that
forewarning, I aborted my mission.
