“It’s weddings and funerals over greenmarkets in Bay Ridge. A much-anticipated farmers’ market in a Third Ave. church parking lot has been canceled after fears the country goods would take away parking space from wedding and funeral services. ‘The market is not going to happen,’ said the Rev. James Devlin, pastor of Our Lady of Angels. ‘There are just too many problems that could not be resolved.’ The market was proposed for the church parking lot, between 73rd and 74th Sts., on Saturday mornings in the month of July. The main hitch is space, Devlin said.” On the other hand, if you die, your relatives are good to go.–NYDN

Apparently at the community board meeting someone brought up the “risk” of pedophiles infiltrating the farmers’ market. Yeah . . .

The greenmarket could also be hit by an asteroid, instantly killing all the unsuspecting shoppers.
Who needs fresh produce when parking spaces are threatened?
