SIGNS THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS DON'T SUCK: FAIRMONT ELEMENTARY SLOW FOOD GARDEN
Fall is here. It's unmistakable, unavoidable. So embrace it. How? Swing by the Fairmont Youth Farmers' Market, at 520 West 3rd in Baker (one of our not-sucky neighborhoods, thank you very much), and enjoy the harvest. The produce comes from the simple and lovely slow food garden behind the school on the north side of 2nd. Fairmont is a dual immersion academy for grades K-6, with Spanish-speaking and English-speaking kids in bilingual classrooms, side-by-side. Seems smart, like the garden and the farmers' market. Almost (well, almost almost) makes us wish we were back in school, but that's probably just a symptom of our fall fever.
