*By Vincentt Garofalo*

During the unfortunate accident at the farmers market on the week of July 16, I have witnessed a community that has come together with dignity and pride.

I’ve been working on the Third Street Promenade for the last four years and this is the first time that I have witnessed everyone getting along with each other, such as the police, city officials, homeless and street performers.

It shows me that we all can get along no matter what our differences may be, and live in harmony in our unique and beautiful community.

Also, I would like to thank the farmers for returning to the market place because they bring us specialness that we are all grateful to experience.

Peace, love and happiness.
