Radical square goes capitalist in Palo Alto holiday market
A former hub of radical rallies in Palo Alto’s The Plaza now hosts about a dozen artist merchants selling leather goods, candles, jewelry, and pottery. Organizers say sales are strong as Great Western officials stay neutral on the new use of the open space. The piece notes the shift from activist events to a civilian crafts market, with vendors from San Carlos and Redwood City. A separate brief from Huntington, West Virginia reports Cabell County Court commissioner James J. Morgan Jr presenting his wife with a humorous Christmas gift—shaving his mustache and placing it in a package.
