About this audio guide
This guide to Boston Public Market follows Liz Morningstar, who sat down in a new office in 2013 and asked why nobody had written a business plan for a market idea that had been stalled for twelve years. It traces her path from the White House advance team and Governor Deval Patrick's campaign finance operation to a job she took on with no food-industry background at all, and the tangle of city, state, and federal permits fighting over one patch of ground above the Haymarket subway station. Vendors setting up stalls here had mostly never had a storefront of their own before.
