Over time, Amazon has announced plans for nearly identical buildings in at least 11 other towns across America: Pflugerville, Texas; Detroit; Mount Juliet, Tennessee; and others. New ones are made public almost every month. In just the past few days, Amazon disclosed plans to build similar buildings in Shreveport, Louisiana, and Savannah, Georgia.
At Eastern Market, May flowers will follow April s showers, and snow even during a pandemic.
Last year, in-person Flower Day was canceled, and the popular farmers market resorted to virtual orders instead. You could still see a colorful processional of pickups via a Facebook livestream.
But this year, the tradition is back, but in a scaled-down format.
In addition to the 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday market, flower vendors will be selling from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on four consecutive Tuesdays beginning next week through May 25, mostly in Shed 6.
The vendors will be spaced, and masks will be required.

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic last March, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued Executive Order 2020-21 directing all “Michigan businesses and operations to temporarily suspend in-person operations that are not necessary to sustain or protect life.” The downside of the order reverberated throughout the state’s economy, resulting in bankruptcies, a sharp runup in unemployment filings, an exodus from offices and schools, and a resulting patchwork of dozens of controversial and conflicting regulations.
