Free Parking?! Yep. Free parking.

indiviewmedia • June 3, 2014

“But what about parking?” people ask. We won’t deny it, we hear this a lot.

Sure, we’ll tell you where the free parking is, but it’s the best kept secret in town so keep it under your hat, okay? There’s plenty of free parking around the Market. We even have handicapped parking.

Hey Look! There’s Kyle over at the Sherman Theater table.

“Hey, KYLE! Kyle! Can you tell us about the parking situation?”

He answers us like he was just thinking about that very thing. “Sure,” he says. “There’s free parking available on Seventh Street between Courthouse Square and Sarah Street…”

The arrow shows where you can park for free on Seventh Street, 8am ’till Noon on Saturdays.

These meters, beside the Courthouse on Seventh Street, mean “FREE PARKING!”

“…Monroe Street just off of Sixth, in front of the new Courthouse, is free parking…”

 “…Seventh Street coming in from Main, up to Courthouse Square…”

“…and handicapped parking is the lot on Monroe, across from the new Courthouse and beside the old jail.”

“Thanks, Kyle. Catch you later!”

Can you see the tents between the buildings? Okay, now keep an eye on that Volvo.
See that Volvo from this side? The handicapped lot comes out here.
Buy some of that Garlic Honey Vinegar. It’s the best!

Now here’s a little something else you should know. There are no signs and not all of the free parking is marked. Why? Because we want it reserved for you, dear Market goer. If there were signs and all the meters were bagged, everybody in the county would hog your spot. Get it now?

And hey, even if you don’t find a free place to park, all of the streets off of Main are only 25 cents an hour.

See you Saturday!

I bet most people don’t think a simple bar of soap can make a difference in someone’s life. But to the surgeon that’s getting ready to dissect an aorta, or the harried mother who has to get dinner on the table in one hour, a bar of soap means the world in terms of germ […]

A few years ago, I met Walter and Maria Menegus, owners of Menegus Farm, in North Jersey. I bought some peaches and some honey from them and struck up a conversation. Little did I know it would be the beginning of a friendship. I sat down with Maria and asked her to tell me more […]

I remember my first trip to an apiary in California. I was excited to see how bees lived and how they made honey but knew very little about it. After a quick educational lecture about bees, honeycomb and honey, the bee farmer gave me a spoon filled with delicious, raw, unfiltered honey. That was the […]

Last year, countless people in our community faced hardship. Some lost jobs, some lost businesses, some ended up homeless and in shelters and despair was the common feeling. Farmers are, at heart, nurturers. We tend to soil, we tend to seeds, we tend to food and we tend to our community. That’s why, as a […]
