When you go to the grocery store you’re looking for quality products and affordable prices. You’re probably not considering how the shop performed on its previous health inspection. After all, it isn’t preparing food in the same way as local restaurants. However, grocery stores go through the same health and quality control inspections as restaurants in the community as well.

This restaurant performed poorly enough to receive a D grade on its inspection (despite the grocery store passing the same inspection).

I’ve written many stories about the homeless hotel where I live, Fusion Studios. But I don’t often get the chance to write about good things happening at Fusion.
