Market Ghosts

There is a set of three buildings on Essex Street which, despite years of being here, I have only been into one of (the market which is still operational daily).  Another was used for the briefest period of time (maybe a month, maybe a few months, I cannot remember exactly, as this was over ten years ago), while the third I have never known to be open to the public.  Just exactly why the city owned property has not been used to any benefit (including their own monetary gain, the end all of government dreams) is not entirely clear.

The other night, I was walking by the building and saw that something was going on.  It turned out that the space was being used for a public art project of sorts, and it was closing night.  Well, I haven't anything to say about most of the "work" inside, but I was more than pleased to be able to see the interior.

As expected, it showed the decay of time. The only evidence of its earlier existence was the ghostly remnant of a sign indicating what was being sold- evidently, the meat market.

Perhaps it will rise again, this market- or, more than likely, with the developer's mind (after lining government pockets) and the usual who cares attitude of the general public, they will demolish it for yet another eyesore building.
