    Will it be possible to forge an agreement with the company building at 43rd and Baltimore so that the Saturday Farmer’s Market can continue unimpeded? This is important.

  2. Elizabeth A Duddy Says:

    I have the same concern as the previous commenter about the Clark Park market. Also, will the new Parkside market be regularly held on Thursdays 4-7? Or was that just the hours for the soft opening?
