Farmer’s Market

Our neighborhood has a corner that is a bit of an eye sore.  Back in the day when we moved here 7 years ago, there was a gas station/liquor store on one corner, a small convenient store on another, a “chop shop” on another corner and a wings to go on another.  I can’t even begin to tell you how awful that corner was.  A few years ago, all of the places were shut down and it is supposed to be developed into a work/live environment.  This all happened though as the economy tanked and so it has sat vacant for a few years. 

Last year though, some lie was returned to the corner in the form of a Saturday morning farmers market.  We loved this farmers market.  We’d walk down with the boys every Saturday and pick up a bag of peaches and a “Cha Cha cookie” and occasionally some tomatoes/mushrooms/strawberries/etc.

This year, Todd has gotten involved in the market and is the treasurer!  The market has officially opened for the season and the first weekend they had some live music and a collard green cook-off.  It was a lot of FUN!
