SUNDAY May Be the Last Day of the Hollywood Farmers Market

if The Powers That Be have anything to do with it, today may be the last full day of the hollywood farmers market.
The Hollywood Farmers’ Market has proper street permits to operate the market on Sundays at Selma and Ivar in Hollywood, just a few blocks from the Arclight. The LA Film School happens to be right next door to the market and, as it turns out, they would like street access to the school and a parking lot on Sundays. They’re asking that the market’s permit not be renewed for that location; if not renewed, the market volunteer was unsure where they would go and whether it would be large enough to accommodate all the current vendors. If all this seems like it’s coming out of no where, it sort of is: the volunteer also said that this all popped up within the last month, conveniently right as their permits are up for renewal.
There is a hastily organized petition drive at the market now, so you, the farm-fresh-happy shopper can sign and formally object to the closure of one of the best farmers’ market in the city. GO SIGN THE PETITION!
For those interested, there also will be a meeting tomorrow, monday at 2pm at the Farmer’s Kitchen.
my personal suggestion........ MOVE THE FARMERS MARKET TO LAS PALMAS AVE!! we would welcome you with open arms.
