Where have I been lately that I have not been before? Actually, quite a few places and it seems like it all happened over one weekend. Before I get to my most recent weekend trip, I want to let you know about the Holiday Market in Homewood. When I initially saw the advertisement for the Holiday Market I was excited. Immediately, I thought about the holiday bazaar that Connie Portis used to have at the Homewood Coliseum, the first year was wonderful. That was around the time when everyone was excited about Black art and Afrocentric items.
Last Thursday I stopped at the Holiday Market that is inside of “four repurposed shipping containers” at the corner of Frankstown Avenue and Oakwood Street. Now that I have looked at their schedule, this was actually the first night. I expect a lot for a first night of any operation. There was food for sale in one container and someone was “spitting” poetry in another, the other two appeared to be empty. You may be asking yourself, “Debbie what kind of containers are these?” Well, it looks like a car that would be on a train or something that someone could make a tiny house out of. It is a rectangular box. I hope that this venture improves before the Holiday Market ends. It is a good idea, but I think it needs a little help.
