Farmer's Market Being Kicked Out
It seems that after all these years, the Farmer's Market on Grand Ave. is going to have to move thanks to more development. Nothing like all this over-development to ruin the quality of life in the Grove. It was only a matter of time.
In fact, the developers want to remove a bunch of trees to make way for condos. I still have not forgiven the City for removing all the nice trees in front of the post office and of course the Doubletree Hotel massacre is something still mourned.
Any ideas for a new location? It might be interesting to close Commodore Plaza to vehicles for the Farmer's Market, which would bring in a lot of foot traffic. If the market stands are in the street on either side, that would still leave room on the sidewalks for the street's usual businesses. It might, in fact, improve their business.

Closing Commodore Plaza to vehicles is the best
thing to happen to the Grove.
