In the (weekly) news
My Reading Terminal Market Story Project got a little boost in notoriety today (a big note of welcome to those of you who are new here), in the form of an article in the Philadelphia Weekly by local food writer, Mara Zepeda. Mara contacted me about two weeks ago, having heard about my project on Uwishunu.com and asked if she could interview me for a story.
We met up at the Market one morning last week and spent a couple of hours talking about my initial inspiration for the project, how it’s been going so far and all the interesting conversations I’ve been having with the merchants, staff and shoppers at Reading Terminal.
I already wrote about Anna, the woman who I met in pursuit of a photo opportunity for the article. Iam grateful I had the chance to talk about her, as she had a long history with the Market and much wisdom to impart about life in general.
If you have a story to share about the Market, please contact me by either leaving a comment on this post or by sending me an email at rtmstoryproject@gmail.com. I’ll make sure to follow up everyone.

What can I say, uwishunu
Gr. I had a heart there. But yeah, we love you.
Love the noteriority you’re getting
Thanks for this lovely website. I work 1/2 block away from RTM and find myself there almost every weekday, whether for lunch, coffee, post-work shopping for dinner, or just a stroll and people-watching. I have a rotation of favorite dishes — the roast pork sandwich with greens and cheese at DiNic’s, duck lo mein at Sang Kee, chicken with black bean sauce and brown rice at Golden Wok (the counter guy there is terrific and friendly), a humongous “regular” Italian hoagie at Salumeria with artichoke hearts and sharp provolone, the poor man’s special (pulled pork sandwich and soup) at Down Home Diner, and of course the hot apple dumpling at Dutch Eating Place that is great for washing down a B.L.T. on their homemade bread.
