That would be Winter Park .
But where it is projected to be is much much closer to lower income area(s) then the high dollar part of WP.
While the article does try and make that correlation ... in my experience that is not exactly true. Trader Joe's is not Whole Foods or even Fresh Market. Where the WP store is projected to be is much much closer to lower income area(s) then the high dollar part of WP. The part of S. Tampa it is slated for is just as close to The Hood (or one of then in Tampa) as it is the more affluent area of "S. Tampa" The part of G-ville the one there is in is just as close to college apt complexes as any upscale neighborhoods.
