Baltimore, MD Harbor Light City Baltimore Baltimore City Arabbers Light City Baltimore Time lapse! #arabbersofbaltimore #arabbers #lightcitybaltimore @baltcityhall @lightcitybmore #iphonex #timelapse #iphonextimelapse #timelapsevideo #arabbersoflightcitybaltimore #lightcitybaltimore2019 #lightcitybaltimorearabber #lightcitybaltimore2019arabbers #2019lightcitybaltimore #lightcitybaltimorearabbers #michaelbowmanlightcitybaltimore . . The story behind a Light City artist is usually a work of art in itself. For Baltimore’s Michael Bowman, you have to know where the story begins in order to understand. In a stable in west Baltimore, Bowman is plotting a masterpiece involving horses to illuminate the Inner Harbor, as he tells a story about a special group of street vendors. “The Arabbers have always been down to the last few guys, and it really is just a handful of people who are doing this art, and it really is an art of doing the fruit sales around town with the horses on carts,” Bowman said. The carts will be lit and the horses will be shining. Bowman said that he is honored to entertain those who attend the event. “It’s so much work to put together, but once you see people enjoying it, it makes it all seem worthwhile,” Bowman said. Bowman’s masterpiece will come to a reality as Light City is just one week away. (at Inner Harbor) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4aYhAWDmOe/?igshid=f91evlgikuik

Many may or may not be familiar with the Baltimore tradition of Arabbers. This @Eater article shares a day in the life Arabber "BJ" Bilal Yussef Abdullah. A great read and lesson in an integral part of Baltimore food culture.

It’s a Baltimore phenomenon that’s been in place for generations, but for those of us from elsewhere, horse-and-buggy produce delivery in the city might be the most surprising solution yet to the food desert problem (or rather, surprising for those who didn’t watch The Wire). They call themselves Arabbers, pronounced ay-rabbers. Video from The Great Big Story.

Has anyone else seen Arabbers? Those horse-drawn wagons carrying and selling fruits and vegetables. Does this ring a bell (pun completely intended) to anyone else?
