David Petty III, who started out selling hair clippers at the market about 25 years ago, said he was excited to return to the cobblestone-lined Maxwell Street for the market’s 112th year.
“We appreciate the fact that they let us come over here on the old Maxwell Street and start the market again,” Petty said.

“I’m going to go check out that coffee table before I leave. I love coffee,” shopper Scottie Willis said.
