Hi Arfi,

I think I appreciate Soulard Market a little more now… no mud and probably not as smelly as the Indonesian market you described!!

Hi Kathleen,

Yes I’m Dave B.’s friend. Thanks for the welcome home greeting. I’ll have to visit the Tower Grove market… sounds great!!

Hey Bruno–definitely try the Soulard market again–Fall and Spring are the best times, especially for locally grown items. January and February hardly anyone is there BUT you can often find the coolest items really cheap (like key limes I got there last Feb. on a bitterly cold day.)

If you haven’t already checked it out, you should try the Tower Grove Park Farmer’s Market on a Saturday morning (8:00 am-12:00 noon, May-Oct in the center circle.) All locally grown and slow foods–many organic and heirloom. . . all in season, of course.

And, I have to ask. Are you Dave Buttrick’s friend? If so, I didn’t know you were back in The Lou–welcome!

Hi Nicole,

You’ve convinced me to visit the market again on a busy day!
I too hope the urban renewal of the south side spreads to the rest of the city… that would be fantastic!!

When I was home in December I went down to Soulard. I think it is amazing what changes they are making. I defintely think you should go make to the market more often – I also love when are the florist are there selling flowers it is beautiful site. Anyway, hopefully the positive changes on the south side will continue to spill over to the rest of the city.

Bruno,

What beautiful pictures! Living in Canada I know very little about St. Louis but it’s always interesting to learn about other cities. I’m particularly impressed that you went back to the farmer’s market after so many years!
