Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Pictured are: Mary Gold (right) and Ethel Brown sitting at their favorite table at the Fairfax District Farmer's Market, where they've been people-watching every Saturday for 10 years. While across the street (not visible from this angle), shoppers wandered by the scene of the explosion and watched while firefighters continued to pump water through a ground well in an effort to reduce the concentration of methane under the surface of the ground. Photograph dated March 31, 1985.
