St. John's Farmers' Market — Local services in St. John's

City needs to do something about parking and perhaps hire some proactive thinkers for better organization. Why not operate on Sundays too?? So everyone has an opportunity to go to the market? I find it very surprising that a former bus garage has so little space.. they've taken more than half the garage and used it for office space.

Hopefully in the summer months that will change, last two times I've gone were very uncomfortable, not a pleasant eating experience whatsoever, very crowded and loud, if you have social anxiety or sensory issues I would advise staying away (or getting your food to go) unless it changes back, a mix of the two seating styles, communal and separate, would...
