The market was everything I was hoping for and more. Within five minutes of being there I was greeted by a nice young man from a fresh fish still who gave me an introduction to the market when I told him I had never been. The variety of products was incredible, the efficient operation and friendliness of the people was delightful, and the atmosphere was lively and interesting. If I lived nearby I could see myself doing over half of my grocery shopping at the market every week. The next time I am anywhere near Rochester I will plan another visit.

Featured artist Dick Bennett shares his images of Europe from September 1971-1972 while he was a student in Vienna, Austria. He travelled and spent time with another 19 students in the program as part of his studies at St. Lawrence University, Dick lived with a family in Vienna and over weekends or vacations, with others from the group or alone, was able to travel through much of Western and some of Eastern Europe. Digitized from Ektachrome slides of the time, Dick has assembled a "travelogue" of his experiences. Also part of the exhibit this month at Image City: Michelle Turner will share her images of Easter Island in the Neuberger Gallery.

Something for everyone all price points and quality! I have not been to an amazing gift shop like this in many years! From Chicago corporate America has taken over and hard to find these hidden gems. Fine candy, sauces, socks, jewelry, lotions, fragrance, wallets, candles and more. All I had mentioned and in many vendors. Must go and have fun! I could have purchased everything!
