Meet me at the Reading


I have fallen in love with this one of a kind market. Brian and I meet here for  breaks when he needs to get out of class for a few minutes. He has found a favorite stand where you can get fresh smoothies and I just wonder around not able to make a decission because there is just to much to take in. Here are just a few of the wonderful sights, colors, smells (I wish this was a scratch and sniff blog :) Just use your imagination.





Over 80 merchants rent space in the market. Three of the vendors are descendants of the original market merchants from 1892. The  Market occupies the ground floor and basement levels of the Reading Terminal's former train shed. The space is arranged in a grid pattern with address on each aisles. This saved me many times in my wonderings!

I could not pass this one by. Brian was dying of embarsment. But I was sly and he never knew I was taking his picture. Sorry it's a little blury. You can't fully appreciate the detailed art work!!!
