Not a lot in the news today, alas.
One uplifting bit of info: the numbers are in, and Philadelphia's Reading Market raised over $1,000 in loose change and other donations to Philbert the Pig! That's awesome -- as we've said before, we all owe the Reading Market a debt of gratitude, and we're certainly going to try to go through there during our trip to the Philly area this weekend. (Since we'll be out of town the entire weekend, we might even do our regular weekly shopping there!)
Thanks go out to Heather Champ for featuring before-and-after-the-fire pictures of Eastern Market on the FlickrBlog; it's a stark reminder of what was lost inside the South Hall, on a pretty high-profile site to boot. (And the after photo is from Ohad Ben-Yoseph, a photographer we've featured here a bunch of times over the past few weeks.)
