how long til this food truck craze goes away
Sep 7, 2012, 1:07:00 PM
@dave b - probably when people stop eating.
Sep 7, 2012, 1:42:00 PM
lol. these food trucks won't be going anywhere unless the laws change. long live the food trucks.
Sep 7, 2012, 2:04:00 PM
Up with food! Down with haters!

I really like the look of the market but I'm bracing for some douche to tag it. I'm sure that gleaming white canvas is calling out to some mutant in the tagging world for some incomprehensible scribble.
Sep 7, 2012, 5:39:00 PM
i bet they got security cameras
Sep 7, 2012, 5:59:00 PM
Hey, Banksy, fresh canvas !
Sep 7, 2012, 11:12:00 PM
Yeah, they need Robocop-style Gatling guns mounted on the market perimeter to fend off the tagging riff raff. That would rule.

Just more gentrification. In my day, we had an "ice cream truck" that came by with bomb pops, gum, and cigarettes. That was fancy enough for us. We didn't need any "food trucks" selling "food".

@oboe
Bomb pops are still awesome.

Higly disappointed in the "new" Union Market. Where are the meat and fresh vegetable vendors? This "new" market definitely does not cater to everyone!
Sep 10, 2012, 10:04:00 AM
10:04,
The meat and produce vendors seemed to mostly be in the rear right corner. Prices are definitely higher than at the old DC Farmers Market. Luckily, Caribbean Crescent and US Beef provide very affordable meat options. Mexican Fruit and Sam Wang's offer affordable produce. All of these places are within a few blocks of the Union Market building.

What's wrong with market diversification? Different folks want different things, some high, some mid, some low. Funny--some of the folks complaining about gentrification have no problems advocating for "diversity" in other contexts, provided it's the "flavor" of diversity they favor.
Sep 10, 2012, 10:52:00 AM
I guess all the talk about gentrification makes me a little uncomfortable. It's a nice market, and a great addition. Sunday I went there for a second time and afterwards went to Mexican Fruit. I really wish people would simply support and enjoy the market.
