    Cell phone reception while inside Trader Joes is practically non-existent most of the time due to the structure above. Make sure you aren't relying on your phone to shop there.

    Favorite neighborhood grocery store. As long as you stick to your basics, it's really quite affordable. Just don't go crazy with specialty stuff.

    I have picked up some nice quick recipes and tasty wines because I got to try them at the store. Their greeting card selection is a pleasant surprise, too.

    90 minutes of parking is free in the garage with validation so you don't have to worry about street parking.

    This Trader Joe's is in a modern office building that takes up a full block between Washington and St. Asaph streets.

    Good tortillas are hard to find in the DMV-Trader Jose's Handmade Tortillas remind me of the good stuff I find back home in AZ

    The Five Layer Mexican Dip with organic corn chip dippers are the best.

    The door to get in is actually in the parking garage. Walk in and the door is on the left.

    It's like a new store every time you walk in. Because they can't stop rearranging where everything is.

    Try the mystery beer - a brown paper bag-covered 6-pack with randomly selected brews.

    You can actually get a decent bottle of wine for under $5 here. INCREDIBLE.

    Looking for a good (cheap) wine? Ask Bev, the wine department manager -- her tips are great.

    I'm fairly certain that the flowers here are less expensive than other stores.

    Whatever you do, DON'T lose your parking stub...it'll cost you $12! (even if you were there for 10 mins to shop at TJ's)

    I hate having to go into a pay lot just to go shopping, but that's life in the big city. And at least it is free.

    Note to self...don't come here the day after they are closed for a holiday! There is hardly anything on the shelves!! Maybe they will learn for next time?!?
