The Weather has Turned Edition
By Candace Byington and Chris Watson
It is finally cold…sort of. Even as our shoppers were out and about this week it seemed like a constant battle between “jacket” and “no jacket”. Regardless, some of our favorite markets are in the full swing of fall and colder weather, offering up a wide selection of products that will warm us inside and out. This week we visited Walt Churchill’s Market, Middle East Market, Sautter’s, and Monnettes.

Nestled along Bancroft Street as you close in on the university is Middle East Market. It can be easy to miss. We shouldn’t.
