More International
Another shot of that cool old International truck at the City Market. KCMO.
Flutist
Or flautist, if you prefere. At City Market in KCMO, this gentleman played his flute beautifully. While drinking our coffee/chai off in the distance we could still hear him. He visited “How Great Thou Art” a few times.
Brrr Market
Out with a broken foot, I missed all the nice markets in August and September, and now I just get the cold ones in October. It’s 42 degrees and chilly. But, here’s Bob Karr selling apples and honey and cider. He said yesterday was probably the last bunch of school kids to tour The Orchard …
Return to the Market

Watermelons
Watermelons were available on Wednesday at the Emporia Farmers Market.
The Rand Man

Can you believe that it’s August 1st with …

But my mind goes back to when I moved to town, many years ago, and they blocked off Commercial Street for the last-Wednesday-in-July sale. The street was full of merchandise. I loved Litwin’s and they had 1/2 of …
