I'm not sure, but I think he was trying to insult us:
Downtown Fort Wayne could support a year-round farmers market, a Maine consultant has concluded, but in part because of the city's “cheap food” mentality start-up costs would have to be minimized

You paid $30,000 to a consultant to tell you the feasibility of selling fresh food in a city the size of Ft. Wayne?
Is there anything you guys WON'T write a check for?
Tim - It was under the $75,000 threshold set by City Council - so the administration did this on their own. Another publicly-finance boondoggle!! On every Friday we have a farmer's market on West Main St. already - but no governmental input
A city that likes cheap means it's a city that pays cheap.

I just want to know how farmers are growing anything in this weather. The heat and drought are killing my lettuce, peppers and tomatoes, despite copious irrigation.
Perhaps we should seek divine intervention: Lettuce spray.
I've told this story before, Andrew, but a waitress at the Gas House one Friday night gushed her profuse thanks at my 20 percent tip. "But isn't that pretty standard?" I asked. Well, yes, she said, "but this is such a 10 percent town."
Amen, Leo.
