Ca. and Ga. can be found. <BR/><BR/>And I am disappointed that FM is being a bad neighbor to the other 54th & College merchants who suffered patiently when FM took away a full block of street parking on College with their construction fence. Now, FM employees fill all the on-street parking by 9 each morning. When FM was seeking permits, they showed us nearby residents thier plans and stressed that the rooftop parking was needed for their employees. Now the roof is empty and I can't find a place to park on the street to run into the News stand. I complained to the manager who blew me off. He said "corporate" had directed employees to park on the street! Yeah, I'm over them.NNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748267344853671553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704477.post-11050893119865831452008-08-19T14:54:00.000-04:002008-08-19T14:54:00.000-04:00I agree.

Other than Goose and the Farmer's Market's, where do you suggest shopping for local produce and other goodies?Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337095744515201499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704477.post-60719145608093125782008-08-19T09:38:00.000-04:002008-08-19T09:38:00.000-04:00I wasn't crazy about it from the start (because of...I wasn't crazy about it from the start (because of their lack of local produce), but I'm still going there often as I live so close. I do love their huge selection of fresh nuts, though.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182232500643318721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704477.post-39322126243972334242008-08-19T02:14:00.000-04:002008-08-19T02:14:00.000-04:00My wife and I used to live in Chattanooga several ...My wife and I used to live in Chattanooga several years ago, which had a Fresh Market before many other markets. We loved it then, so I was pretty excited about seeing it pop up here more than 5 years later.<BR/><BR/>But my first time entering the store was like watching a balloon deflate. I realized I didn't need anything in there anymore, and this was particularly true when they didn't stock my favorite nose-blisteringly spicy German ginger-ale.<BR/><BR/>The next time I went in there was for horse radish root (only place I could find it, to be honest) I wanted to tell all the people at the meat counter, "Go twenty streets south and you will get local, better meat for less money."<BR/><BR/>I'm sure it's nice for anyone within walking distance, and it'll be nice for a single item here and there, but I'm with you on the doneness.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415282912677182843noreply@blogger.com
