The succulent aromas of fried chicken, lamb, and crab cakes intertwine
agreeably with the honey-coated tones of the saxophones played by the soulful
jazz musicians. The barrel-bellied older gentlemen sway on the performance
stage, enraptured by the poetry of their music, entertaining the workers and
businessmen arriving for the lunch hour rush. This scene calls to mind my own
childhood visits to Lexington Market, an over 200-year-old establishment filled
with vendors selling every variety of food. Despite numerous attempts to close
its door, the Market has remained a testament to Baltimore’s history and
culture.
