Friday's observations

[otherwise]

Each Friday the mall in out small city is home to a Growers Market.

This sight made me take a snap, it just struck me as poignant, mid 1800's church, 1960's commercial building and the shade tents that are only there for about 6 hours.



Walked around the corner and next to the organic growers tent was this Bentley worth about $600,000 getting a $88 parking ticket.



Then in a slightly rundown street (I parked in free all-day parking) this building had it's own organic produce.

Dave, if you go to google maps and enter "Crown & Kembla St Wollongong Australia" zoom in a couple of times then place the little man in the middle if the intersection you can turn the street view in each direction. You can see the mall with it's many fountains, the black glass building on the other corner is the Telstra Centre for our area, that's where you'd work if you were attached to the Wollongong area. You can see the first floor of the Telstra building over that Bentley car photo.

We call those Farmer's Markets. They are becoming things of the past in many places, but they used to be in almost every town.

The nearest city to me has on every Saturday morning in the warm months. Lots of Amish folk sell their produce there as well as "English" farmers.

The city of Philadelphia has a huge one year round that's been going on since the 1700s and is enclosed in an old warehouse style building.
