For 47 years, the Latino community in Jamaica Plain has been able to count on getting ethnic products from their homeland at Hi-Lo Foods, one of Boston’s only Latin American supermarkets. This will no longer be the case, as the supermarket considered a landmark by many will soon be replaced by the upscale organic Whole Foods Market. On this edition of “Centro”, WBZ’s Yadires Nova-Salcedo talks with Boston City Councilor Matt O’Malley, about what this means to the Latino community in his district. Tune in!
