Two weeks later, we started a market.”Originally, the market operated on Saturday at the Picaroons location on Union Street, also on the north side of the city.
“We started this, amongst a global pandemic, and we’re quite proud of that,” MacFarlane said. “A lot of people were saddened by the loss of the Northside Market — all the vendors all lost that avenue of revenue, so we wanted to start something.”MacFarlane said there is room for about a dozen more booths in the market, adding that the market is a place where businesses can grow.“You come in, you start small, a small booth, you grow your business,” he said.
