I walked over to the site of the proposed market at The Barlow on Gravenstein Court from the plaza. The walk down McKinley Street isn't long, but it also isn't just next store. With trying to allow...

Barry - those are rather selective excerpts. There is much much more to the story than Paula's advocating a against a joint market. This came after a very long period of trying to work things out. ...

What I just don't understand is this: Why would the owners of the Barlow want to tarnish their exciting grand opening that most of the community is behind with such a divisive issue right off the...

I have been reading all of the posts under this thread and was going to stay out of this fracus, but upon sober reflection, I now feel compelled to add my opinion to the fray.

As almost everyone...

I find this horrific, mean- spirited and far from community minded. I am really aghast that they are doing this and I hear they have written to all the Sunday market farmers trying to lure them away...

The Bunya Bunya tree lives 500 years. It could live another 400 years and probably much longer. Probably a lot longer than the Barlow Buildings will continue to stand. And it looks a lot nicer than...

Thanks for this good news, Barney. (Not Bernie, people! Do your homework.) Some of us knew you weren't wanting to cut the tree. What I wanted to post earlier, but didn't, is that those of you who...

We wanted to update everyone on the status of the Bunya Bunya Tree situation.

Things are looking up for the beautiful tree! After challenging our engineers we came up with a plan that satisfies...

I would like to echo Dixon's gratitude to Kirsten's tireless and often thankless efforts in the fight against routine and arbitrary circumcision on male children.

Circumcision is mutilation....

Kirsten, I just want to express appreciation for all the effort you put into keeping the various aspects of the nonconsensual circumcision problem bubbling on the front burner. This movement is at an...

I doubt I can be at the hearing, as I'm having heart surgery on the 10th. So just tossing in my two cents:

The one very-wrong answer is to have a another market at The Barlow on Sundays. Please do not do that! :waccosun:

we have the best farmers market already...in the plaza. it is carefully curated by Paula Downing to afford all the farmer participants an opportunity to make some money, by keeping a balance of...

My understanding is that the current Sunday market WANTS to expand into the Barlow to allow more room for more growers. I love the idea of an evening market - maybe that will encourage our downtown...
