Just got a google alert and was so pleased to see this! The American Planning Association did their own h/t to great public places in America and The West Side Market was one of those places! We Clevelanders know just how fabulous it is and it’s nice to see this kind of National recognition. We aren’t that far away from the 100 year celebration, looking forward to that in a few years as well. Here is the article from The American Planning Association’s Great Spaces site.
The American Planning Association (APA) has named West Side Market as one of the 2008 Great Public Spaces in America for its functionality as a neighborhood gathering place and fresh food market; its engaging atmosphere; and its role as an anchor in the community, stimulating nearby commercial and residential activity.
It’s such a vibrant place and I pinch myself at least once a week because I work a few doors down from it. It’s also fluid, with new ideas and vendors every year. One of my current new vendors is the juice bar. And Maria the vegetable lady, who was introduced to me by friends, has become a weekly staple. And Judy’s Oasis. Awesome hummus. I could go on, but most of you know how cool and yummy it is.
If you are reading this post and don’t live here, The West Side Market is going to be one of the ‘must go to’ spots when you visit. And I hope you do! Peace Out - 3C
