Good discussion about downtown Winona. Here's a random thought
regarding a related item. How about providing better municipal
support for the Winona Farmer's Market? In a lot of places I've
travelled, open markets of different kinds provide a unique
atmosphere that attracts both locals and visitors. Chances are good
that market customers also stop at neighboring businesses to shop or
buy a meal either before or after their stroll through the market.
I'm a regular customer and sometimes street musician at our market,
and I think the vendors offer up a great variety of interesting
produce, meat, flowers, honey, preserves....but unfortunately there
are many Saturday mornings when it's painfully obvious that they are
lucky to recoup their gas money, because the turnout of customers is
so small. I'd like to see the City provide some free advertising, at
least some sort of banners or signs which would direct the casual
weekend traveller toward the market. These businesses are all quite
small and probably unable among themselves to generate enough profit
to fuel a major advertising campaign... and my point is that they're
doing Downtown a favor by being there.
