It's called Market Square, in the 300 block of King St. Mike's right;
you can't miss it.

Until recently, it ended at 9, and many vendors left at 8:30, so
count your blessings! Now we slug-a-beds have a fighting chance to get there
more than twice a year...

Saturday morning markets can be a mixed-blessing: you get up early, socialize
with all the Old Town resident couples wearing their matching jogging suits
(yet somehow perfectly coiffed, and no sign of sweat at all!)
while buying all those good vegetables and fruit, and then go somewhere on
King Street and gorge yourself on a breakfast that's really bad for you, such
as Eggs Benedict - with a side of corned beef hash.

Aaah, decadence - I love it! You Arlington loungers with your 9 to noon
market don't know what you're missing.
