| - Birkenstocks with socks, straw hats, cargo shorts, flouncy skirts, "Green" bags: I must be at Market at the Square, a favorite stop for the artsy folk. This is a great place for people watchers, too. Arts and crafts of questionable value and aesthetics, musicians of arguable talent add to the picture. There are lots of pretty flowers and some early season herbs and vegetables that will improve as the season progresses. As farmer's markets go, this is nothing special, but it is local and, as the weeks pass, the selections of produce can reach impressive. Definitely walk around before buying as the prices may differ, as well as the quality. My favorite part of the scene is when there is a tent for rescue dogs. Over time, there have been Saint Bernards, Greyhounds, Rottweilers, to name a few. Always such sweet beings with sad stories. Take one less basil plant and give that money to the rescue. A sad part of the market is its proximity to the Lincoln Square Mall, considered by some as the saddest mall in America. But that's another review entirely.
