The illustration of the early farmer's market at :14 through:19 is really detailed. I used to never go to our local farmer's market on Saturday mornings because I was too hungover. But now I'd like to attend the one in Soulard, since it was the first to occur west of the Mississippi River. Impressive! Thanks for another great history lesson.

I'll be down there for Mardi Gras Saturday, haven't been at the market in years! Thanks for bringing it up, so much to do in St Louis.

Older than Santa Fe? Established in 1610?
No market in Santa Fe...before your St. Louis market? Hmm, crazy.
Isn't Santa Fe also west of the Mississippi River? Hmm, crazy.

This maybe "crazy" talk but, I think you just love St. Louis a lot. Hmm, crazy.
