Mr. Steed -<br>
<br>
As willing as you are to openly discuss Mayor Chaney's perspective, concerning the location and operation of Moscow's Farmers' Market, what is your perspective?<br>
<br>
Do you support adopting the current (albeit temporary) Farmers' Market concept of blocking off Main Street between Third and Fifth Streets, thus reducing/eliminating the intrusion of vehicular traffic . . . or not?<br>

>> NICE! And I love the new configuration---blocking off Main is great! And, since I was downtown anyhow, I dropped into a few stores I normally don't frequent; found a pair of socks at Hyperspud, a book at Bookpeople for my grandson, and a pair of pants at StormCellar....also discovered I'd sold a piece of art from my Howard Huges Video show from ArtWalk. Wonderful day!! Huzzah, Moscow, Heart of the Arts!<br>
