[@wanda01141]

This was cool to watch. Can't wait till it open

[@kevinspencer6055]

My small simple request for them have a sit down area to eat ................and different types of food not just fried chicken

[@rammtitajones5697]

CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE....WHAT A SHAME!!!

[@dftgjgerhiii3733]

Make sure the RATS are gone!

[@rammtitajones5697]

TWO LEGGED AND FOUR!!!

[@unknownopinionoid2672]

Don't worry they will be gone but they gonna re appear on ur plate 😂

[@FreeRoamBaltimore]

Do they have the exact date the market will open? What will they do with the current building?

[@stacycampbell1314]

September

[@cookiemoney2462]

Lexington market got its start buying and selling slaves. Never forget that.

[@jackmeyers9291]

There is no proof that Lexington Market ever sold slaves. It was always a outdoor produce type market until a fire in 1949

[@jakealden2517]

Africans were enslaved by their own people, and sold them to Europeans. Never forget that. Slavery continues in Africa today, but not in the U.S.

🍪.....I THINK YOU BETTER LET IT GO....IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER UNFORGIVENESS TKO!!!

[@GODSIMMORTALTHUG]

I use to do deliveries there and all the vendors had store rooms in the basement of the building. When I tell you it looked just like a jail down there, it was so eerie. You could feel the pain and horror as you walk through long concrete corridors with literally little cells. Not to mention you could easily get lost down there (keep them from escaping of course)

[@lynncharity6661]

When will it open ? I have shop there since 1958 😘 ❤️!!!

[@lawrencecarpenterjr2286]

It was a slave trade under Lexington market

[@glock5363]

It’s so many drug dealers and crack heads downtown

[@miykaelbenjuda8606]

The vaults under Lexington Market were used as slave pens and the tunnels were used to move slaves from the inner harbor. This history is already well known

[@Bmorecrafty]

They ain’t mention it was a slave auction block 😈

[@rammtitajones5697]

SHAE....YOU MENTIONING IT IS ENOUGH 😈!!!

[@dont375]

And I’m glad they didn’t because what sane person would want to keep living in the past and reminding themselves of traumatic events? Smh that makes no sense whatsoever.

[@rammtitajones5697]

@@dont375 WELL SAID TRUTH!!!

[@Mr187Burger]

@@dont375 I 2nd that. Leave that shit in the past, you aint no slave

[@scorpioworldnay]

I was just about to type that.

[@tywanjames4427]

And to think that's where they stored food at up until they closed. Wonder why they didn't show all the rats and roaches down there....

[@anniesue4456]

Rats lots of rats

[@artkillsevil]

the market was failing and they invested millions only for it to fail clean up the drug dealers and users maybe the people with money will come back

[@Strawberrynovacane]

I understand it’s “ historical “ but it also was a place slaves were held. Tear it down and let those spirits free.

[@allenburris3740]

The new and improved drug market very sad place can't even go there and get a meal without lots of people trying to sell you every type of drugs or stolen merchandise and it's very dirty place and they clean it everyday

[@UncleSam-USofA]

Crime has ruined it
