Speaking of produce - has anyone heard a hint of anything on what's replacing the farmers market downtown? I know it's a weird year for everything this upcoming summer with corona, but I can't imagine the city letting the original association go THAT EASY without any plans for another style farmers market downtown. The owner of The Banks must be livid if nothing is actually coming to replace the mediocre one. That would absolutely blow my mind and cause me to lose faith in the entire city council. I am very surprised no announcement on that has been made yet - even if it's postponed for this summer. Anyone have any thoughts?

Just a thought, but a grocery store wouldn't necessarily have to be located within the downtown core to service the downtown population. The Safeway in Regina's Cathedral Village is only a 10 minute walk from downtown, certainly within walking distance. I'm not too familiar with existing options, but a grocery store in Riversdale or City Park could achieve the same result.
