| Tastebuds Fresh Marketplace |
Tastebuds Fresh Marketplace is a dream realized by owners David and Donna Lanni. "Throughout the years wherever we traveled, we were always in search of small neighborhood grocers with a focus on unique, high quality foods delivered by knowlegeable, customer friendly staff. Finding that this vision was difficult for retailers to achieve, we decided to do it ourselves.
We love good food and we love sharing that food with friends and family. Tastebuds was created for customers who share our vision of quality and who depend on a staff that will assure that they receive exactly the foods that will best serve their needs.
We believe in delivering the best. Because of this, we pride ourselves on having brought together great foods with market fresh ingredients produced locally or in unique destinations across the world. Foods that you will be proud to serve to your family and delight your dearest friends.
That's why we called it Tastebuds; delivering flavor beyond description. Every day is a quest, a quest to develop and deliver new and unique foods to our customers. Come on the journey... it will be a great trip. We promise!"

“What the study underscored is the tremendous amount of potential here—they’re a national resource,” Lubinski says. “But it’s hard to separate the findings of this study from what we know about gifted kids in general. The genuine concern is, we know we’re not identifying all of this population. We’re not getting nearly enough, and we’re losing them.”
To people more worried about kids who are falling through the cracks altogether, doing slightly less than we could for the most gifted might not seem like a pressing problem. But if the study is right that exceptional youthful ability really does correlate directly with exceptional adult achievement, then these talented young kids aren’t just a challenge for schools and parents: they’re also demonstrably important to America’s future. And it means that if, in education, we focus on steering all extra money and attention toward kids who are struggling academically, or even just to the average student, we risk shortchanging the country in a different way.
“We are in a talent war, and we’re living in a global economy now,” Lubinski says. “These are the people who are going to figure out all the riddles. Schizophrenia, cancer—they’re going to fight terrorism, they’re going to create patents and the scientific innovations that drive our economy. But they are not given a lot of opportunities in schools that are designed for typically developing kids.”
