Metreon Island Farmer's Market Opens

The Sony Metreon, having failed dismally at its original mission as a "techno-mall", has been taken over by those champion mall-redevelopers from Australia, Westfield.  And having looked around at what sells in San Francisco, Westfield has decided to make the Metreon into a food mall to serve Moscone Center.

Good enough, but you have to wonder if Westfield is targeting the Ferry Building, one of the few venues in town they don't run.

Anyway, to inaugurate this venture, tommorrow they are officially opening the Island Earth Farmers Market in the Metreon.  From 10am on they'll have free food, balloons and all kinds of "stuff" to kick it off.

I'm curious to see if SF can actually accept an indoor farmer's market, and for that matter where they're going to put the 160 vendors who have supposedly signed up.  Pictures this weekend.
