Fifth Street Public Market

It’s been a long time for me too, but I remember it being a pretty fun place. My hubby used to manage one of the food places. The courtyard was a great place to sit and read a book or just watch people pass. The smells there were amazing.

It’s been about a decade since I was there, so maybe it’s changed. Yes, there used to be cheap eats there among the expensive fare. Always upscale. Many happy memories of wandering through the bookstore and buying fresh flowers. Wonderful courtyard. Is it still there?

Time was when this was a fun, funky, Eugene kind of place to go. But sometime over the past decade or so, it seems to have lost its soul and become just another mall. I especially miss the variety of cheap eats that used to be in the food court.
