Things To Do This Week.

Get Trashy with John Waters.

According to a recent poll, Trader Joe's is America's favorite grocery chain. In the study, which was released last week, the cheaply-priced retailer outscored chains like Whole Foods and Aldi in “customer delight index.”

That much makes sense; it's hard to walk out of a store with a $3 bottle of wine in hand without feeling too delighted.

Dallasites will have the opportunity to find out what all the buzz is about when the newest Trader Joe's opens the doors to its Lower Greenville location this Friday. Also worth celebrating this week? The release of the latest Polyphonic Spree album, free drinks at The Travis, the work of John Waters, and the joys of cured meats.
