Riverside Market Through the Years A Riverfront Hub
The Riverside Market evolved from horse and wagon days on First Street to a 1965 move into the Riverside Roundhouse as city recreation officials took charge. Vendors recall price shifts from free spots to a $225 seasonal rental for May to October while bell hours set fair play and farmers like John Kazimour and Frances Prochaska continue to sell beets, corn, tomatoes and gladioluses.
