"The Green Market changed Alex Johnstone’s life. He grew up down the street in Sunset Hill, the westernmost part of Ballard, and the corner store was the first place his parents let him walk to by himself. He’d get licorice there, or fruit when it was in season, like strawberries, peaches, or blood oranges. “I had my first kumquat there,” Johnstone says. “I have a lot of sweet little memories associated with the Green Market.”" - Harry Cheadle
