Uptown Westerville Farmers' Market: The Pavement Under Foot


Life in Uptown Westerville: A crew worked this a.m. on the market lot, stacking parking curbs and sealing cracks, so the space will look a little different and feel a little different under your feet. Parking policies still apply. (This repaving project stretches into next week. Shout out to the crew from Strawser BPS for being so accommodating this morning.)
