I took this image earlier today
The Sweet Auburn Curb Market is a historic market located in downtown Atlanta . In 1918 Atlanta established a “curb market” on land cleared by the Great Atlanta Fire of 1917. This fire decimated the Old Fourth Ward of Atlanta, destroying almost two thousand homes and leaving over ten thousand Atlantans, mostly blacks, homeless.

After the fire a tent market occupied the site.

The Municipal Market opened the doors to its new building in 1924.
Referred to as the Curb Market by locals, it houses thirty local businesses,
including produce, butchers, seafood, a full service bakery,
a cooking school, pharmacy and ten of the most popular eateries in the city.

"Sweet Auburn Market, the history of our streets"
I couldn't help but wonder... is this where you make "Wenches"😈
The top image was from behind the counter of the one place I
Stopped to patronize, a barbecue vendor.
The rest of my encounters today are in this video.
