OK, it's not exactly a thing of beauty but for those who have tried to navigate the market in wheels - wheelchairs, wagons or strollers and for those of us who had to watch, a concrete floor is indeed a beautiful sight. Putting in a hard floor that wheels could traverse was our vendors' number one request last fall and now, thanks to a grant for materials from the Perry Foundation and installation funding from the park board, it is a reality. The project should be finished this week and cured to perfection by the time market opens.
And a special thank you to park supervisor Tom Reeder who as I write is guarding the wet concrete from pranksters.
