Start Your Day at the Farmers Market

This was the first market I was able to make of the season due to work/rain, and week three did not disappoint. The amount and quality of vendors keep growing.

One flaw is bicycle parking..so I grabbed a tree. 

Crepes taste better when served with a smile!

Roots Ice Cream has been the biggest hit of the new additions. Their concept is small batch cream that uses ingredients sourced from local farmers with inspiration from local businesses. I tried the Honey Lavender, which was superb.  They also featured a Sweet Tea, Chocolate "Pluff Mudd" and Sweet Pea Mint. 

Smooth Legato

Running early on my morning commute to work I happened to come across this guy. He was just chillin on his front stoop throwing down some descent music, so I stopped to listen for a bit. It was a good way to start the day and a nice surprise in a neighborhood filled with drug traffic. I also enjoyed his cargo carrying pushie.

Food Trucks and Bar Parties

The Recovery Room (a bar in my top three most frequented) celebrated its 3rd birthday on Sunday. To celebrate such a grand occasion they threw a nice shindig which included several delicious food trucks and plenty of cheap beer. Egg tossing, belching contests, and an awards ceremony, to include drinker of the year (I was not in the running)  highlighted the days activities. 

 Diggity Doughnuts is a must eat whenever they show up. Vegan treats at their finest!! I ate the peanut butter-sriracha and lingonberry doughnuts which paired quite well with PBR.

Hello my Name is BBQ is another top find at any good food truck rally. This week their BBQ was braised in bacon stout beer from a local brewer (Holy City Brewing). I scooped up the BBQ tacos w/ jalapenos, tomato, and pickled onion.

Droppin Bombs!!

I have stumbled upon a new favorite activity while out riding the city. Seed bombing is a great way to spruce up rather degraded areas of the community, or where lack of foliage exists. These little balls of clay, compost, and seed mixture add warmth and beauty to what may be unattended soil or eye sore spots. Guerrilla gardening is something I learned about last summer, but never fully embraced. Its the same concept of these seed bombs, only you plant small gardens. I wasn't too keen on that concept due to maintenance and the urban community gardens that have recently became popular. (See above) As these bombs are anonymously tossed into vacant areas they become sites worth looking at as a mixture of flowers sprout. Very basic concept, but great to see grow. I started in an empty pot of my own to see which flowers grow to know what to expect before I drop bombs on the city.
