Mine too, and we do end up going to farmer's markets oftentimes. But, we wouldn't pick a vacation destination for a farmer's market either. That's pretty ridiculous. Parks don't matter much to me either, and I'd be surprised if there were many people using parks in their decision-making. The only thing this guy hit on is the weather (though that more effects when I'll go, not where).
The author does NOT write with honesty... we all know why HOUSTON is a bad place to take the kids during the summer... Spoiler
