Default I want one of These

Saw the below link regarding a produce stand in Fishtown/NoLibs

http://www.citypaper.net/blogs/clog/...-girard-avenue

For those more connected to the various biz groups and neighborhood associations, is there a way to approach these people to consider a second location over here? Maybe they know others of a similar mind set that would be interested in giving this a go in Fairmount.Btown?

Things like this, plus the better resturants, make me consider living over there.

You're link was all broken and stuff. Try this:

http://www.citypaper.net/blogs/clog/...-girard-avenue

While I like the idea of having one of these in the neighborhood, I think it would be prudent to see how the first one does before asking them to open a 2nd. Besides... it's only a short trolley ride away. I can't wait to check it out.

There is a meeting to discuss developing a Community Food Market for Fairmount/Brewerytown coming up.

West Girard Community Council
Public Meeting #7
Thursday, April 10th, 6:30PM
Christian Hope Baptist Church
921 N. 26th Street (Between Poplar + Girard)
Tel: 215-232-2728

Might want to check it out and get involved. Community market is different than the cornerstone shop in Fishtown. Weaver's Way in Mt. Airy is a neighborhood co-op and they certainly source produce from locally owned growers.

Great, I had head about this. Can you pass this on the the various neighborhood associations? There is also a Fairmount Parents Yahoo group you might want to post to as well.
