- Tell us about yourself:
- My name is Mariya Topolyanskaya and I'm a rising senior at Case Western Reserve University. I have three majors: Psychology, Natural Sciences and Environmental Studies. When I get out of Case I'm looking at Law School, a BA in Environmental Studies, or both.
This summer I'm doing a Capstone project in which I will attempt to determine whether eating locally for a resident of the greater Cleveland area is practical in terms of time and money. In the fall I will do a full writeup of this project, which will include some academic research as well.
- What gifts can you give to Cleveland's local food community?
- My research.
- What knowledge and practices do you want to learn?
- How to garden better. I also want to network with Ohio farmers and people who know where to buy locally.
- What about local food makes you most excited?
- It can help fix our energy problems, make us healthier and bring us closer to our communities.

West Side Market
The West Side Market consists of an outdoor row of produce vendors and an indoor portion that contains booths selling meat, fish, dairy products, pasta, deserts, and seemingly anything you could want to get. As far as I could tell, these booths were permanent. I didn't look at all of the booths because I was specifically looking for meat, and I think I got a pretty good representative sample of that.
