This is indeed good news. I also often miss the Wed market for the same reasons already mentioned. Sat market will be great!

the East Lake will be back. they are polling to see what people think of Sunday dusk-dark as an alternative to Saturday morning, since there are so many mkts in that time slot. I imagine the competition to sign up growers is pretty stiff on SAturday mornings. As cool as the new Sat market in downtown Decatur sounds, I can’t help but wonder if they’re scooping growers away from the smaller-for-now East Lake gig. That would be really frustrating for those of us on the south side of town!

Since it’s East Lake residents who’ve done the incredible amount of work to organize it in the first place, I doubt if they’d be interested in relocating to the NAVO lot (even if it were available). Where they are now serves the south side of Decatur along with East Lake and Kirkwood.

East Lake is coming back – they just got on twitter and have been talking about new vendors. Very exciting to have both!
