Thanks for your comment, I think they...Mariannika,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment, I think they're often the best parts of blogs.. And glad to see a new reader/commenter here at TNE..At least as long as it's manageable for me to do so, I always try to do a comment-to-the comment to reciprocate the thought and effort..<br /><br />I was talking to friends last night about Market Street Market and I think the consensus was that for produce, fresh meats, and stuff we'd use to get together and cook dinner, it's an awesome resource to have right outside the door. For other items like cereal and similar non-perishable packaged goods, it would be best to pick them up on bigger grocery runs..but as you said, the convenience is a huge deal.<br /><br />I don't know if you saw Kathleen Marcin's quotes in the Sun piece from last month, but to borrow a line, one of the best parts of living downtown is parking your car on Friday and not having to start it until Monday morning. If I can walk to MSM instead of having to fight through traffic and parking somewhere else, that's definitely *worth* a lot..<br /><br />best,<br />gpThe New Englanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06201310505648616855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665619563748706349.post-91933549636728746742009-04-13T04:32:00.000-07:002009-04-13T04:32:00.000-07:00I stopped by the Market Street Market on Saturday....I stopped by the Market Street Market on Saturday. I'm so glad it's downtown - it's a lovely little grocery with gorgeous produce and the owners are very friendly and nice. <BR/><BR/>The prices did seem a bit high but I think the convenience factor more than makes up for the slight markup.<BR/><BR/>I think that having a small grocer downtown brings a lot to the area - all great urban areas offer their residents access to everything they need within a small radius - that's what makes city living great. I think the Market Street Market brings downtown one step closer to being an extremely liveable urban area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
