Homestead mailing list

Good morning, all...
Does anyone belong to the Public Markets list? I thought this was kinda
interesting, considering some of our recent discussions about farmers' 
markets,
even if it doesn't apply directly. I wonder if she has any of the same 
problems
(well, prices, of course!) that we've talked about? She's obviously in an 
urban
setting, so maybe this is just totally OT.

Subject:   (Public Markets) farmers' markets, weekdays 4-7pm 
  
Ref. R Layman’s forwarded article about Purcellville. I have been thinking for
several years about the possibility of opening markets in London on weekdays
4-7pm, with the idea of catching post-school and commuters, perhaps at 
transport
hubs. We’re still struggling with local authority street trading rules and 
other
bureaucracies. I think this should help the producers who could avoid rush 
hour
traffic in both directions, a problem with a 10-3 weekday one. Anyway, I think
I’ve read about a few other “twilight” (?) markets in the USA and wondered if
there’s a list, or if PPS keeps stories or research about such experiences.
