PETERSBURG, Va. A mobile produce market in Petersburg featuring produce from Virginia farms is giving the community access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
POP Market, which stands for Petersburg Offers Produce, already has a loyal following. Every Friday that they pop up here, I m first customer here or try to be anyway, said Marquel Bugg, a frequent market shopper. The produce is so fresh.
Economy, finance, and budgets
California’s coastal urban centers, once the ultimate land of opportunity, suffer notorious traffic congestion, unaffordable housing, and a social chasm defined by a shrinking middle class, a small wealthy sector, and a sizable population seemingly locked in poverty. If there is a future for the region’s middle and upwardly mobile working class, it’s more likely to be found in the state’s large, generally more affordable, interior, known as the Inland Empire, or “the IE.” But for that to happen, the area’s promise needs to be better recognized and supported by policymakers.
