Oh no! Catherine and I had wanted to go there this summer. A sad reminder that if you want to do something, you shouldn't wait, I guess.

Sad news, another historic structure possibly gone forever. Its sister market at 7th & O has been in limbo, exterior walls propped up with steel supports since a roof collapse in 2003.

It's not all bad: the craft area was mostly spared. You'll still be able to get all the beads, armoirs and stupidly-decorated mirrors that're necessary for a successful grilling season.

I didn't want to admit it, but that was my first thought on hearing the news. Where the hell am I supposed to get brisket? Does Whole Foods have a saw to cut the chine bone?

I knew DC would not be the same when I move back there :(. Maybe this will be a push for the city to get one solid market for each neihgbourhood; we have far too few comparing to, say, London. Btw, I am off to see DC's own illustrious Mark Jenkins show at a gallery in Soho here.
