Been two weeks in a row, cuz I love it here. I just want to know one thing. How does everyone get up so early? :zzz:
I am strong, because I've been weak.
I am fearless, because I've been afraid.
I am wise, because I've been foolish.

I enjoy it until I walk by the fish stalls and then I don't enjoy it so much.

Don't walk by the fish stalls then... :rimshot:

If you enjoy the Public Market - and have interest in its history, this is a great book. I'm reading it now and the old photos are wonderful! It's very expensive online, so you're better off picking it up at the market office for $20 or finding it at your local library. :up:

Rochester sure has a lot of pride in its public farmners market, but in the cities I have visited, I have seen similar if not better. Including two in NYC.
I think there is just a mentality Rochesterians have that ours in unique.
Either way... I need to make it there next week to stock up on fruit.
