We totally do. Honestly though, I'd like to see more local markets like Riverwards Produce in Fishtown. I love having that near me. The quality of life of having a neighborhood go-to produce/farmers market can't be stated enough. I wish City Hall would launch a program to do that, bring jobs into local neighborhoods, make the businesses non-franchise so money stays in the neighborhoods, and helps end food deserts throughout the city.
