I've been seeing and hearing a lot about the WAL Public Market on R Street downtown lately. Recently I made my way down and spent the morning wandering through the shops. I've never spent much time in that area of downtown before, but I loved the vibe. It reminded me of the neighborhood the brewery was in Portland that I did my bike brew tour out of. The artists lofts just above the market looked dreamy. I'm a sucker for the old building/big windows/New Girl loft vibe.

Inside there are several little shops and eateries. I browsed through Old Gold and found some cute greeting cards (especially the Spice Girls one, which I obviously bought!).

Local artists were featured in the hallways
