...participating vendors and organizations. Fair-goers were exposed to a wide range of local businesses that offered specialized knowledge and shared strategies to facilitate the process of urban produce-growing. Jessie Banhazl, owner of Green City Growers, discussed the use of raised bed produce farms, as small as 4x4 feet in size, as a means to address typical city limitations of space availability. Raised beds furthermore address the issue of soil toxicity in an urban environment, Banhazl said. The fair also hosted a urban-agriculture goods contest, with medals awarded to the best fruit, pickled vegetable, vegetable, flower, baked goods...

At one shantytown he rolled down his window and basked in the thank-yous for the new streets...
Rooming: Sneaky good. You’re never going to get shafted in this house. While FlyBy would strongly recommend Dewolfe for your first year, you definitely won’t end up thrown in some 4x4 cage with a floater (like we’ve seen in some houses). And Senior housing leaves you with some fine options: take out an entire ‘U’ in one of the top floors of Leverett towers (best views on campus!), or take your traditional n+1’s in the upper floors...
