We let the downtown development people rename the area around Petco Park the “East Village” without batting an eye. It’s a cool name, I suppose, but the area still has a lot of catching up to do before it even comes close to comparing to its Manhattan counterpart.
A good step in the coolification of the East Village is the new farmers market that’s kicking off this Saturday, May 17, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. between Market and G streets on Eight Avenue. Put on by the San Diego Black Historical Society, the market will be a welcomed addition to a ‘hood that, as of now, is still a bit lacking in the interesting-things-to-do-and-see department.
