For years, industrial sites that once fueled the city’s economy have sat idle and deteriorating in and around residential areas. Now, the brownfields are presenting an opportunity for residents to re-invent their neighborhoods.
Opening Day for the Capital District Farmers Market, 381 Broadway will be on Saturday. Farmers will be on hand selling the plants and flowers they've been starting in their greenhouses all winter, and there will be plenty of treasures to hunt at the first garage sale. Beginning to set up on Friday are Fred Cole, left, General Manager of the Capital District Farmers Market in Menands, and Jim Zimmerman at right.
