Does anyone have info about the 2 properties across the street? Are they owned by DeLaCruz also? Several dozen vendors ranging from shirt sellers to masseuses operate there.
They contribute much to ambiance of the entire area. Our tourist visitors spend as much time buying gift items as they do in buying produce.
If the main Farmers Market lot is upgraded with a new roof (which can be attached to the adjacent building), but the area across the street is not upgraded and vendors fade away, the loss will be much noticed. The entire HFM is a big visitor draw, arguably at the top of East Hawaii's To Do List.

As yesterday's rain in Hilo will attest....
