The Boston Heymarket

Imagine the bustling atmosphere of a farmer's market combined with the grime of a dumpster, and you have the Boston Heymarket.  One dollar buys you two pounds of tomatoes, three pounds of plums, or five pounds of onions.  Between the tents there are a variety of meats and cheeses offered for similarly head-scratching prices.  Mako, Mika, Eric, and his girlfriend Joan ended up hauling about ten pounds of produce for not much more than 15 dollars. 

There are precious few circumstances where it's just not worth it to ask yourself "why".  This is one of them.

Alex, would it be inconvenient for you to bring some tomatoes back to Seattle?
