The San Diego Public Market in Barrio Logan stopped its twice a week marketplace last year, but it wasn't until today that organizers officially announced that the project was no more. The industrial warehouse on National Avenue was taken over and converted in September 2012 in hopes of opening a public market similar to Pike Place in Seattle and Reading Terminal in Philadephia, with an astounding 1,379 people donating to the first San Diego Public Market fundraiser on Kickstarter. While founders Dale Steele and Catt White have remained optimistic, business was not consistent enough to keep the bi-weekly openings cost effective.

About SanDiegoVille
SanDiegoVille was created in 2010 to report about all the fun & delicious happenings taking place around America's Finest City and we quickly earned a reputation for being a news source for and by those that shun archaic journalistic practices in pursuit of reporting the real story. We are a different kind of news site with no desire to conform to antiquated ideas of how many believe journalism should be. We pound the pavement for our exclusive coverage instead of waiting for permission to break news from the fancy public relations firms that regularly spoon-feed mainstream media sources their story ideas, influencing journalists’ opinions with freebies and fanfare. SanDiegoVille reports fairly on the top entertainment happenings and small businesses doing it right, while not shying away from hard topics and questions you won’t read in local publications where editorial direction is ultimately steered by the sales department. We are a concerted threat to legacy media organizations, and proudly so.
