Community Reacts: Saturday Morning Market Leaves Westchase

For the past several months, Westchasers had grown accustomed to the white tents popping up near Maloney's Irish Pub once a month with all sorts of goodies from fresh baked goods to handmade jewerly.

Earlier this week, we reported that the Westchase Saturday morning Fresh Market was relocating to Carrollwood. Organizers cited safety concerns for vendors with metal tents as a reason for the move. A series of power lines are located near the market site.

Westchase Patch Facebook fans sounded off about the move. Here's what they had to say:

Mell Ryan Comperatore wrote: "I noticed the sign when we were there last month. Soo dissapointing."

Denise Segalla wrote: "I won't be traveling to Carrollwood..."

Jeanne K. Germaise wrote: "Too bad. Will never make it to Carrollwood. I liked the market in Westchase."

Kristina Tristani wrote: "I will not drive to Carrollwood. Too bad it's leaving Westchase. Such a great location."
