Happening Now
Somebody looked at a wedge of asphalt where three streets collide and decided people needed it more than cars did. That decision is the reason you can stand in the middle of a Los Angeles intersection on a Saturday morning eating a peach.
The market that moves in is small, genuinely small by the standards of this city, and that is exactly why it works. The vendors know the regulars. The regulars know whose citrus is peaking this week and will tell you unprompted. Everybody is standing within fifty feet of somebody they recognize, which is not a thing that happens often here. The produce is certified, the prepared-food stalls rotate, and the neighborhood arguing about every decision affecting a twelve-block radius is the most reliable feature on the calendar.
Griffith Park Boulevard at Edgecliffe, Saturday mornings, free, and walk over if you can.
This is the errand that quietly turns into your favorite part of the week.
