This week on the podcast : FRIENDS of the MARKET Part 3! On the 50 the Anniversary of the Seattle City Council's HORRIBLE vote to tear the MARKET DOWN we celebrate the WILD SAGA of the BEST FRIENDS anyone has ever had, THE FRIENDS OF THE MARKET! Follow along as SEATTLE becomes the stage, Wing Luke, Mark Tobey, Desimones, DeLaurenti's, Verdi's and a very SPECIAL MAN named VICTOR all have starring roles. They started out as a LONG SHOT, but after Meeting 40 YEAR STANDARDS ,enjoying WILD ITALIAN COOKING CLASSES, partaking in CHAMPAGNE BREAKFASTS, EDUCATING the Public with WORDS and TOURS, and even getting a DEATH THREAT, the FRIENDS ended up with a PUBLIC MARKET! Listen as they tell the story as only FRIENDS can!
