>Last night, Cookie Till, owner of Steve and Cookies By the Bay, took her application for a weekly farmers market in the parking lot of her Margate restaurant 
and won approval. This followed a contentious but awfully entertaining dispute with Howard Seiden, owner of Casel's supermarket, who opposed the plan, saying the farmers would unfairly compete with his and other stores in town. The market will operate Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from late June through early August. Martin DeAngelis reports that Seiden's attorney, Richard King, predicted a slippery slope from tomatoes and lettuce to velvet Elvis. Till's approval is for one year.

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.

Woo hoo! I agree that it was entertaining to watch -- small town politics at its best (worst?)
Anyone who's been to the Collingswood Farmer's Market knows what good a farmer's market can do for a small town, and for local farmers. I know that I eat better because of it. I haven't seen a velvet Elvis yet, but I don't know if I'd mind!
