City Market Report: Week 12

If today was any indication, it seems like the weather will cooperate this long weekend. The aisles of the City Market were basking in glorious sunshine.

City Market Report: Week 6

Mack and I made sure we picked up our week’s worth of groceries at the City Market on Saturday morning before ducking out of town, but it did mean I didn’t have a chance to post about the market until now. It was a glorious start to the weekend, though we can’t say it was [...]

City Market Report: Week 5

It was another Saturday perfect for a stroll down the aisles of the City Market! Busy market square Mack and I had a blissfully late start to the morning – great for us, not so great for our grocery list. Though we were still able to pick up most things, we were out of luck [...]
