The Market of the Day: "Lettuce Shop in Peace." (It's a pun. We're keeping it.) Okay, so. We made a market. It's inspired by that little burger place vibe — the specials board, the seaside town, the feeling that everyone here is trying their best, mostly. There will be small shops. Handmade art, apparel, jewelry, treats — honestly, really good stuff, which is kind of surprising even to us. Every shop is small, family-run, and hanging on with love, stubbornness, and a specials board that changes daily. Come. Bring your family — yes, even the weird one, especially the weird one. Buy things. Make puns. The vendors need this. WE need this. It's gonna be great. Or fine. Probably great.
