The crowded parking lot was full of snow around the brown building.  The old doors looked battered and rusty.  But opening them was like when everything turns from black and white to color in the Wizard of Oz.  Suddenly, I beheld a beautiful buffet or oranges… apples… bananas… grapes… plus all kinds of veggies like yellow peppers and green beans and purple eggplants.
“Get your fresh sweet oranges!” a woman shouted while merchants and shoppers exchanged cash over the bountiful tables of food.

And the coolest part?  The prices!  I routinely spend $20 on fruits and veggies that would cost at least twice that at the grocery store.  Walking out with bags of pineapples and green grapes and pomegranites, made me smile.

So if you live in Metro Detroit… check out Eastern Market on a Saturday, even in winter!  If you don’t live here, make a point to visit our farmer’s marketplace when you visit someday.

Because once you open those old doors, you will Find Your Daily Bliss!
