Rust Wire readers know that Detroit frequently makes headlines for all the wrong reasons – crime, corruption, poverty, the list of negatives is long.

But this story from the Dallas Observer lavishes praise on at least one aspect of The Motor City — its farmers’ market, Eastern Market.

Having been to farmers’ markets across the Midwest, I can say that Detroit Eastern Market is unparalleled — it basically encompasses a whole neighborhood and is full of bustling market stalls, shops and restaurants.

The Observer article is bemoaning the state of farmers’ markets in Dallas.

    Eastern Market is truly a gem. I hope you’ll be able to experience Soulard Market in St. Louis when you come– it is also pretty damn special!
