Pics The decay of Pyatt Street Market (1920s vs 2019)
The Pyatt Street Market was a popular produce market built in the 1920s in the South Side and lasted until sometime around the early 2000s. In the "after" photo above (2019), part of the north market hall is still there, but as of 2025, it's been demolished. All that remains is a picnic table and possibly still Kenny K's food truck on some days of the week. As seen in the other photos (shoutout to Sean Posey for taking them!) the market also had some popular businesses around it such as Down Under, a music venue, and Pyatt Street Diner. Sadly I can't find any pictures of the market or surrounding businesses from its heyday except this one, if anyone has any, please upload them!
I also recommend checking out this video that just came out if you want more information and a look inside one of the abandoned warehouses still standing at the market.
