Lexington Market is one of Baltimore´s six operational food markets, vestiges of pre-supermarket shopping. Located on the corner of Lexington Avenue, between Greene and Paca streets, the market is an odd combination of independent stalls, most selling pre-cooked foods, with a few raw meat and fish dealers, fresh vegetables stands, and baked goods vendors thrown in. Nowadays, Lexington Market sells mostly prepared foods, like lunch sandwiches, fried chicken, and boardwalk fries. It once was the original super-market, with more than a hundred stalls selling fresh poultry, produce, seafood, and meat. Lexington Market has followed Baltimore´s residential and commercial shifts. As the middle-class fled the city and larger supermarkets entered urban neighborhoods, it evolved into a fast food, lunch time haven, mostly for local residents. The businessmen, doctors, and other professionals who inhabit nearby office buildings, medical centers, and universities trickle into Lexington Market, but lack the sheer numerical force of the locals.
