Florida Market Tour, Saturday April 4th

Frozen Tropics reminds me that the tour of Florida Market is Saturday at 10 am and the weather is supposed to be great. Christopher and I have revised the directory and interpretation signage although new versions aren't yet posted online. (We're waiting on one additional change.) We will have 11x17 copies to pass out at the tour. For those interested, we will be meeting at 9 am for (Korean) breakfast at Florida Deli (formerly K-Young's) at 325 Morse Street NE.

Explore Florida Market

Where: Meet at the SW corner of 4th and Morse Street.

Explore Florida Market. The tour pairs the historical significance of the market with visits to shops selling produce, food and other hard to find goods. The tour ends at A. Litteri’s the oldest continuously operating Italian deli in the city serving some of the best Italian sub sandwiches in the city!!!

Led by urban revitalization advocates, this tour is a partnership with Capitol Hill North Neighborhood Association, Trinidad Neighborhood Association, Frozen Tropics weblog, and Rebuilding Place in Urban Space weblog. Be prepared for cash only purchases and the spirit of the city’s largest wholesale market.

Flickr photo by emilygoodstein of a past Market tour. The photo features a shot of the "guerrilla wayfinding and interpretational signage" that was created by Christopher Taylor Edwards and myself. While we haven't erected actual signs (yet), we will be passing out copies.

Pdfs of the signs are here:

-- Florida Market History Sign

although they are in the process of being updated for next week's tour.
