In contrast to the sunny, hot weather of yesteryear, 13th Street Market opened today on the receding side of almost a week of showers. I’m not particularly surprised, the market is a chance for freshman to eat something besides those disgusting cheesy (is it spelled with a Z?) grillers.

Musicians, vendors, and artisans all turned out to make a dime off students stomachs. Food, as always, dominated sales over crafts (evidently Philly Steak Sandwiches are forever.) Beyond the usual crowd of cooks and craftsmen, larger interests like AT&T and (everyone’s favorite)Stadium Park set up booths on the street.

There were a few new faces on the street, but the Fair was largely comprised of food vendors that operate at all kinds of different fairs. Cindy, the current owner of the popular, family-owned Philly Steak Sandwich shop, has been running the booth for the better part of 15 years after taking the business over from her friend. Philly steak sandwiches are fucking good. Notably absent was the taco booth, which sets up on weekends to serve drunk students so they can throw up on the bus. Maybe they should expand their business to sell beer and tacos during the day?

In other news, Dream Theater continues to fucking rule.
