The costs of slip and fall liability insurance go up all the time, which is why so many markets are on city property. The government is immune from slip and fall lawsuits, so they don't have to buy the insurance. Unfortunately, city-owned property is unlikely to be prime commercial property as well. It is much more likely to be "tucked away in a park" like you said. The other market I attended was one of those, well-hidden indeed. We even closed at 6 pm, to make sure to keep away any customers who had to work until then. I called that place "the hidden market." It was a well-kept secret.
