Kalamazoo’s indoor farmer’s market plans to open for its usual hours tomorrow.
As a grocery store of sorts, the Bank Street Winter Market plans to keep going unless it’s ordered to close or business drops off. But the corona virus pandemic does present some challenges. Joe Mapes (rhymes with drapes) owns the bingo hall that lends its space to the market. Mapes says people formed long lines for a chicken stand last weekend.
"And if they were to be six feet apart, they would have been way down the street on Bank Street, so I’m not quite sure how to handle that"
Mapes says things might be quieter tomorrow…if people have calmed down about stocking up.
