Interesting. I've not been to an ALDI in the United States
that I can recall, but the ones I've seen in the rest of the
world seem to be fairly normal stores with a mixed clientele;
Trader Joe's, a subsidiary of one of the ALDIs, targets a
distinctly upscale and non-WalMart-style market.

Rerouting here is hard to do; I'm not sure why, but the
coverage maps of every public transportation system change
glacially if at all.

One paradox of our U.S. mass transits is that even despite
their stigmatized public image, the service is best in middle
to upper income areas. Need seems to be incidental to the
drawing of a route map.
