Remember the mysterious fire that destroyed the produce stand at Angino Farm (now known as Newton Community Farm)? Here’s details about the effort to raise money to rebuild it.

With some reclaimed lumber or lumber donations, a few skilled volunteers could have finished this in a weekend, couldn’t they. Should I wonder if this board is more money-centered than community-minded?
Reasonable question, although this is Newton. Maybe there’s a design review committee. Has Graham Gund ever done a farm stand?
@Greg, I thought you were going to ask whether the city would be selling the naming rights.
Greg,
I know you were trying (with moderate success) to be funny, but a design competition for the farm stand would be wonderful. The first stand was fine, but a project of this scope is just the kind of thing for a young architect could go to town with to help build her portfolio.
@Ted: Actually I’m worried that someone or some entity that might otherwise give money for this might decide to hold out for a chance to have Newton North’s ceremonial entrance named after them instead.
@Sean: Design competitions are great. Committees that delay and drag out the process not always so good.
It’s a roadside stand next to a community garden. The woodshop students in my high school designed and built very handsome gazebo next to the school. It’s still there. Again — community first.
@Hoss: sounds like you need to sign up for the board and present your proposal.
$5000 for what was basically a shed? Come on people. Handicap accessible? It’s at the side of the road!!!!! Enough with this story. This is a $200 job. Give me a f*cking break!
