South Dallas residents are still asking for grocery stores, and while community gardens can provide some sustenance, they are not a replacement for grocery stores, as evidenced by the recent closure of Save-A-Lot and the lack of corporate grocers in the area.

Dallas Free Press conducted a study with UT Austin's Center for Media Engagement to better understand the needs of South and West Dallas communities, and will host events this fall to present the findings and discuss how their work will respond to the community's requests.
