Flutterby™! : Chattanooga almost gets it right...

Sundays, Chattanooga attempts a 'new age' farmers market at the Cricket Pavilion. Dan and I filmed this place back in the 90's before it was all rebuilt into a stadium and a pavilion. Besides climbing a short tower and mounting an antenna, chilling in the pavilion listening to a blues bank and eating sushi (from Sushi Nabe) was the highlight of the weekend. Organic veggies, spices and more permeated the air. The smell of the strawberries alone was worth it. The kicker was the admission.. not that I care about the 'buck', but I talked to the guy at the door, and found at the biggest reason to charge admission was to 'keep the riff-raff out'. It's a public place, paid for by private money donations and lots of our tax dollars. It just irks me, and next time I go, I'm going to look really really grubby, use lots of small change for the door and see if they let me in.. If he'd have said it goes to the band (and they were good) I would have had a different response.
