I'm pretty sure the plan is for a weekly Farmers' Market on Saturdays just like now.

Is the glass opaque? Wish we could see in the building watch the activity .

 

[Rascacielo]

Looking very London

Ontario or England?

 

[isaidso]

One of the nicest buildings to go up in a very long time. It's elevating what was already one of the better neighbourhoods in the city.

 

[ShonTron]

Ontario or England?

Covent Garden Market. Thames River. That should clear it up.

Ontario or England?

A friend calls 'em Londonberg and London respectively...

Covent Garden Market. Thames River. That should clear it up.

Just so you know -- and make things even more confusing -- the farmers' market in London, Ontario, is also called Covent Garden Market. It's a pretty terrific market, too. London Ontario also has a Thames River.

Don't forget Cheapside--it's not as bad as it sounds.

Etymology and usage[edit]​

Cheapside is a common English street name, meaning "market place", from Old English ceapan, "to buy" (cf. German kaufen, Dutch kopen, Danish købe, Norwegian kjøpe, Swedish köpa), whence also chapman and chapbook.[2] There was originally no connection to the modern meaning of cheap ("low price", a shortening of good ceap, "good buy"), though by the 18th century this association may have begun to be inferred.

Other cities and towns in England that have a Cheapside include Ambleside, Ascot, Barnsley, Birmingham, Blackpool, Bradford, Brighton, Bristol, Derby, Halifax, Hanley, Knaresborough, Lancaster, Leicester, Liverpool, Luton, Manchester, Nottingham, Preston, Reading, Wakefield and Wolverhampton. There is also a Cheapside in Bridgetown, Barbados; Lexington, Kentucky, US; Greenfield, Massachusetts, US; Saint Helier, Jersey; and London, Ontario, Canada.
