I am sad because after reading about Organic Express on this cool and environmentally conscious LA blog, I rushed over to the Organic Express website and tried to sign up, but lo and behold they don't deliver to my area.
UPDATE: So I heard back from a Organic Express rep and they totally copped out saying they only deliver to residential neighborhoods and we all know that nobody lives downtown:
We do deliver to LA, but it is very difficult for our drivers to deliver in downtown LA, due to traffic and parking. In addition, we deliver primarily to residential neighborhoods, and the demand in the downtown area is not enough to warrant a delivery expansion.
To which I replied:
Do you have any idea how many people live in downtown LA? 15,000 residential lofts in a 1 mile square area! These are affluent people who have no access to organic produce throughout most of the year. How many people would you need to make it worth sending your deliver trucks down here? It wouldn't be very many stops as you only have to stop once at each loft and deliver for dozens if not hundreds of people.
