Recently in East Market Street Category

Over the weekend, I noticed that the first block of East Market Street isn't exactly a pedestrian's dream.

On the southern side of the block, a sign tells pedestrians the sidewalk is closed. There are gates closing off the walk around the York County Administrative Center. More work to repair the building, I'm guessing?

The sign directs walkers to the other side of the street, where ... you have Market Street garage construction

It looks prohibitive, but you can get through since they constructed a pedestrian walkway out front.

Garage construction is going to continue for a while. I don't know how long the area by the Administrative Center will be blocked off.  It all looks more hazardous than it probably is. All the same, it's probably good to pay attention and make sure you know where you're going for a while.

Eating here was on my to-do list.

I should have gone sooner. There is a large sign at YaYa's Restaurant, 887 E. Market St. put up late this week. There's been a smaller sign on the door for a while, but I didn't stop to read it until today.

The big paper sign, dripping with today's rain, announces "All restaurant equipments for sale. Walk-in or call 542-4405."

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

I shouldn't have waited, especially in an economy like this one. Click on the jump to see a picture that makes me wish I hadn't skipped lunch today.
