Sayrs Fri, 18 Jun 2010 23:32:17 +0000 http://spovangelist.com/?p=2728#comment-11999 Maybe we can kill two downtown problems with one regulation. Charge an annual licensing fee for surface public parking lots within downtown. Then reduce the fee for those which have food carts on them by more than the amount the health department inspection fee is. This would create an incentive to attract carts, and create a source of funding for sidewalk maintenance, street trees and furniture around the parking lots.

It does, however, make me wish I had done more to stand up for what I believe in. Anyway, it does restore some hope in humanity to see that some people still have time to care about their community.

They make it possible to easily and inexpensively explore foods from around the world. This opens doors and minds. Pig Out in the Park is just shutteringly embarrassing. I so wish we could do away with that disgusting showcase of gluttony and litter and do something healthy/green/low-impact. Perahps David Blaine could do something in his spare time? ;) Yes, more food carts!! They make it possible to easily and inexpensively explore foods from around the world.

Thoses who aren't check out farmersmarketla.com. Very similar to Pike's Place Market. I, and many others, would love to see something like this in Spokane. Maybe somewhere close to downtown or in the International district. People from Los Angeles are probably familiar with The Farmer’s Market. Thoses who aren’t check out farmersmarketla.com.
