Farmers Markets, meh. Ooh, a Dratini!


I tried this past holiday weekend to find pawpaw fruits and pokemon at two farmers markets. I failed on both counts. Canton Farmers Market was supposed to have pawpaw fruits. Like everyone else, I've been to Canton before so I should have known better than to expect pokemon. I mean, I got a Nidoran and an Ekans for my trouble, but all I really get out of Canton is balls.



So when the pawpaw seller appeared not to show up, I want to the Marietta Square Farmers Market on the following day. Again, a couple of minor pokemon, some balls, and no pawpaws. In fact, the farmers there on Sunday had never heard of pawpaws. Also, since when do farmers markets have so few farmers? Also, the Marietta Square Farmers Market was not in Marietta Square. It was more off-Marietta Square in the way that things are off-broadway. Not quite the quality you'd expect. Instead there was Art-Thing (probably not the real name). Again, nothing to show for it but balls.

Parking for the farmers' market is at the bent willy.


On the way home, I visited JJ Biello for a much needed payoff. I got a little something extra this time.

That's a Dratini. It's adorable.

On Monday, I went up to Lake Conasauga. Don't. At least not for pokemon (though I did pick up a Squirtle and a Growlithe in Ellijay on the way). There's no signal near the lake until you're half way back down the mountain when there's one pokestop. It looks like this, which I guess is okay.
