What's New at Spokane's Public Market

I try to stop by the Spokane Public Market every other week or so just to see what's going on. Last I heard, seven vendors were withdrawing from the market because business was so slow. This makes me sad. I wish Spokane would really embrace the market as a place for farmers, artisans and foodies to sell their wares and try something new.

I'm glad I stopped in. I picked up a loaf of delicious potato rosemary bread from the pasty depot bakery and discovered a charming new produce stand. I bought a sweet, ripe papaya for just $1.99. Maybe winter's not so bad after all.
