U District Street Fair

May 17, 2026

We manage to get to the street fair most years. It’s weather and conflicts dependent. This year the planets aligned. The fair has been around for decades. When we were first in the area it was huge, with good quality merchandise. This seemed to ebb for a while, but it seems to be rebounding.

This year I had a particular item I was looking for. I believe they are referred to as noodle bowls. Bigger than cereal bowls, with a flatter bottom. We stopped in several pottery stalls without finding what was in my mind. Or just one, and I wanted multiples. Then we found our stand. Not only did they have them, they were about half the price of other close items we had seen.

4 deeper and 2 shallower wide bowls

With that errand successfully completed it’s off to the Mariners, in the sun! I am warm for the moment.
