Where would you put the farmers’ market?

Did everyone see this ? According to S-R reporter Jonathan Brunt, the Spokane Farmers’ Market will move from its asphalt church parking on Second Avenue to a grassy field a few blocks away.

With road construction scheduled for Second Avenue for the next two years and blocked access to the parking lot from Third Avenue due to a stalled hotel project, the market would have been “landlocked,” farmer Timothy Pellow told Brunt.

The new spot—at Fifth and Browne—is a field where Lewis and Clark High School’s marching band used to practice. So … is the move something to toot a horn about? Are you glad? Sad? Indifferent?

Market Manager Diane Reuter says in the article that the market association is working with the city of Spokane to find a permanent location, perhaps in a city park or a closed city block.

Hmm … the block of West Main in front of the Community Building (where the Earth Day celebration will be held this year)? Carnegie Square on downtown’s West End? The brick-paved portion of Wall Street? Coeur d’Alene Park in Browne’s Addition? On the lawn at the MAC?

I’m just throwing out my own ideas there.

If you were in charge of the world, where would you put the market? Why?
