Mayor Adrian Fenty has miraculously peeled himself away from President Obama long enough to work! Ben's Chili Bowl isn't going anywhere; annoying tourists from Milwaukee wanting to experience the historic landmark after Obama's "Average Joe" field trip to U Street are holding Fenty's place in line. Thus, between photo ops, he's decided to take the money that was set aside to rebuild historic Eastern Market (too hippie, crunchy granola, elitist for an Obama outing) to comply with "FEMA regulations".
Oh like that's important. Building levees and stuff - for DC?? It is a former swampland, but are we truly in danger of being flooded? I guess that Bethesda water main break has some people nervous. Rather be safe than sorry - but how am I going to get vintage trinkets?? Inside the market??? That's an outrage. I like to buy my cheeses indoors, but my flea market, hand crafted decor outside on a sunny day. What ever happened to Michael Berman, DC's favorite hairy artist-in-residence?? Sadly, Eastern Market is "under new management".
