He's Holy & I'm Knott, Baltimore Public Markets Tour 2025 - Lexington Market

Rev. and I are back with the next stop in our Baltimore Market Series—and this time, it’s the crown jewel of public markets: Lexington Market. After nearly 250 years, this legendary space is stepping boldly into the future, and we were there to soak in the stories, the flavors, and the feeling.

Lexington isn’t just a market—it’s a monument to the city’s soul. And now, thanks to a sweeping reimagining, it’s once again buzzing with life, layered with history, and brimming with promise.

In this episode, we explore how the new Lexington Market is redefining what it means to serve the public. We talk with Abigail Lammel and Jessica Blackwell of the Baltimore Public Markets Corporation—two powerhouse communicators helping shape the vision and voice of this evolving space. They pull back the curtain on how Lexington’s transformation was led not just by design, but by community.

Then, we go straight to the heart of the market: the vendors. You’ll hear from Fatimah Ames of Sweet Peaz Southern Kitchen, whose food is as soulful as her story. April Harper of HarpVision shares how wellness and creativity are part of the market’s fabric. And Ms. Cho from Krause’s reminds us why legacy matters and how family recipes still have a place in the modern marketplace.

This episode is about more than just food—it’s about connection, intention, and the power of place. Lexington Market isn’t trying to be something new. It’s becoming more of what it’s always been: a gathering place for everyone.

Come along as we walk the new Lexington, meet the people shaping its future, and celebrate a space that feels both timeless and totally fresh. Baltimore, this one’s for you. Thank you again to our guests that made this episode so special!
