Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)

They love the idea in east Harlem. The current area is called la marqueta. It used to be like a bazaar with fruits vegetables and butchers but it didn't survive the recent modernization with giant corporations moving into the neighborhood. Eventually it became a local hangout spot for seniors on the weekends for dancing and playing dominos now it'll be a proper food market again.
