Sometimes all you need are ice tongs and a friend who can keep a secret. Other times, a change in location are needed.

If you need greens, fish or sausage today, hit the Triangle today between 3pm – 7pm.

Running from Dec. 5th (this Saturday) to Dec. 12th, check the Events Calendar for more info.
Getting the Boot
I’m not too surprised by this. It seems there is always controversy at Sunset Valley Farmers Market. The Statesmen is reporting that AISD is not renewing the lease on Sunset’s current space and is bumping them down to a strip of dirt on the edge of their property on the side of the freeway.It gets better, at this point we can’t park in the parking lot anymore either.
