Charlottesville City Market — Attraction in Charlottesville

This is an average farmer's market, certainly nothing special.

The real problem is with the garbage police the station at every single trash can. This isn't like your average recyclable and non-recyclable bins, it's like five different bins for an assortment of uses that, to this day, I could not explain the distinctions.
