Sometimes this gig makes me feel like a real journalist. Nicole Reed, our McGolrick Park Farmers Market hero, sent me an email that started out with, “K, you’re our VERY FIRST member of the press to get this info!” (I don’t think people in the press use quite so many exclamation points)

Agreed. They couldn’t put the greenmarket IN the park?
From what I understand the park’s department didn’t want the vendors driving trucks in the park, which is a valid concern. That doesn’t mean it won’t migrate into the park, but for now this is what we have and thanks to everyone over on Russell St for being martyrs with the parking situation. I don’t think cars are more important to the community than farm fresh food.
We want to assure you that there will be no parking restriction on the Russell street. Thanks to Lincoln Restler for connecting us with Tony Argento of Broadway Stages! Now we will have free parking space for our vendors in their parking lot!
We do care about the community and don’t want to inconvenience anyone.
Good to know! Thanks for clearing that up!
Yay, Lincoln! His fan club is growing.
