Farm, food, and friends: Perrysburg market celebrates 25 years of growth
The Perrysburg Farmers Market, which draws thousands to downtown every Thursday, has grown from a tiny seed planted 25 years ago to a big blooming bouquet of farmers, food, and friends. Cindy Bench, co-owner of Bench Farms in Curtice, has been with the market since its meek beginnings. She recalled husband Dave trying to entice customers to come over and see the flowers and produce at their booth when it opened in 1999 on Louisiana Avenue. “He would boil sweet corn on a burner and hand it out for free, trying to get people,” Mrs. Bench said. “When we first started here, we begged for somebody to walk by,” she recalled. “It took about six, seven years for it to develop into something. And now we’re the premiere market.”

To the editor: Secor roundabout bad idea
I’ve seen questionable roadway projects before, but the proposed roundabout, or as I call it, “roundingdoubt,” at Secor Road and Kenwood Boulevard, is one of the dumbest. It is touted to improve safety at the intersection, but anyone I’ve spoken with says these traffic circles are very confusing and actually invited chance accidents, not deter them. In addition, roundabouts are not attractive and require taking a portion of resident properties. They look like a fried egg as shown in an overhead photo. Instead of using the estimated $5 million to construct one of these monstrosities, how about using the money to improve the driving conditions of our existing roadways? JAMES SHALER West Toledo
