Great questions you have! Let's plan coffee and we can talk about them in greater depth, but the simple answers are: "Yes, I feel safe. Yes I want to raise my kids here. Improvements (this is too nuanced a word for me to feel totally comfortable with it!) will continue to be made as long as there are willing and passionate people to see it through." But, let's have coffee and we can talk further.

The vendors were very personable, and I had some great conversations - something I have not experienced anywhere else. I hope you are able to find even more vendors as spring nears.<br /><br />My husband and I are considering moving into the area. Obviously you like it since you've been there so long... Any info to share? Do you feel safe? Is it a good area to raise kids? Do you think the improvements will continue? (I read your very interesting post on gentrification...) Thanks!Shannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550384224965851130.post-21561101423307905332011-01-21T18:32:56.625-07:002011-01-21T18:32:56.625-07:00I'm looking forward to trying out a loaf of br...I'm looking forward to trying out a loaf of bread tomorrow, in advance of the breadmaking workshop Sunday. I'll be sure to post if more water is required! I'm so excited for you guys to be at AB Ave's market. Organic, local grain is in far too small supply in this city set IN THE MIDDLE of Alberta grain fields (what's with that?!)Carissa Haltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01273164231288148297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550384224965851130.post-32658297288479063382011-01-21T08:35:39.138-07:002011-01-21T08:35:39.138-07:00It was so great to meet you in person last night d...It was so great to meet you in person last night down at the market. I left with a very good feeling about the whole thing. The vendors were great with some good variety and fresh food and the customers seemed to be there to buy food! Everyone I saw come in had their recycled bags with them! Awesome. We will be there again next Thursday, but this time as a vendor...our first farmers market experience.
