Today I had a little extra time before lunch and decided to walk along East Markham and make a quick stroll through the River Market hall. Both Markham St and the River Market hold memories and significance in my life … one because our family had an Office Furniture dealership on Markham at Laharpe for many years and the other because I was Mayor when we developed the River Market for food vendors, farmers market and an outdoor entertainment amphitheater.

I’ve not been to the Market Hall in sometime so I was anxious to see what food vendors are there now … more importantly, to see if Middle Eastern Cuisine was still there. Well, it’s there … and the friendly faces pictured, above still greeted me with smiles and a small plate of the best baklava I’ve ever eaten.

I’LL BE BACK SOON!!
