The Free Market on M and Merced
Posted: Mon Mar 25, 2013 9:43 pm
Just wondering if anyone remembers the The Free Market. located at M and Merced Street. It's where the local farmers would come on Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays to sell the Freshest Produce and Fruit you could find. My family ran it from 1953-1998 until the State of California decided to build office space there. Prior to that it was located at Fresno and L St. It originated in the Courthouse Park at the turn of the century.
After closing the M and Merced St location it was moved next to San Francisco Floral. Mom and Dad retired in 1999. Downtown Fresno holds many memories for me and my family. Just wonder if any one out there remembers?
