THIS SATURDAY WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE OLDTOWN FARMERS MARKET WAS HELD, AT ITS NEW LOCATION ON GABILAN STREETS. THE NEW LOCATION CAN ONLY EXTENDS FROM MAIN TO SALINAS STREETS, BECAUSE OF CALTRANS REGULATIONS. THIS LEAVES THE STORES BETWEEN MONTEREY AND MAIN STREETS LEFT OUT OF THE ACTIVE MARKET PLACE. HOWEVER MOST OF THE BUSINESSES, IN THE OLDTOWN DISTRICT, SAW A BOOST IN BUSINESS, FROM THE 25 HUNDRED SHOPPERS THAT ATTENDED SATURDAY’S FARMERS MARKET.
