My small town Vallejo has lots of problems, and so is kind of divided up into socio ethnic groups that are suspicious of each other. The Saturday farmers' market is always well attended by a nice mix of many of these groups and I look forward to it every week. For me, it's like a social event with representatives of the whole town engaging in a common interest and enjoying each other's presence. The market only works, thrives even, because all find it useful. Maybe someday the town as a whole will see itself the same way: fabulous us, rather than them and them and them.
