More on Saturday Market or "Good Ideas Gone Bad"

Thursday, January 12, 2006
I ran across this article in The Oregonion today. It sounds like Portland Saturday Market is in some dire financial straits because of a decent sounding investment gone wrong. This is part of the reason they're looking at moving.

Admittedly, I'm a little confused as to how the non-profit organization and the market itself interact. I do know this, though... the Saturday Market is a cultural event in our city and bailing that out is far more important (in my mind) that things like a bringing major league baseball to Portland.
