News these days for Farmers Market Flats doesn't sound good.  I hear the City is trying to get the "eye sore" construction site filled in.  And on top of that, there's a new proposal for an indoor market in the Gillette building as part of the new LRT maintenance facility.

It's really too bad to watch this site go, especially since the site was excavated and the foundation was set.  I guess the good news is the next developer to work on this site will have an easier time building than the last try at it.  Until an idea/developer steps forward, the site will likely return to a gravel parking lot.

So if the Farmers' Market finds a new indoor home, what should be built on the current site?  It's actually kind of a small parcel of land, since there are easements on both sides of the lot for alleys, one of them being a historic alley.
