:-D - nice idea.
ReplyDeleteI like this comparison.
ReplyDeletereminds me of soulard market - sun vs. sat.
ReplyDeleteQuite a transformation, from a hovel to a palace...
ReplyDeleteThe Soulard comparison is good--it's a transformation that happens again and again. It's fantastic how a place can go from lifeless to alive so quickly and so often.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a heck of a lot of work to set up shop! Did you buy any fruit?

Now the owners have turned it into a spiffy little corner market. I've never been inside since Abu Ali left. He still comes round to get a haircut at the local barber.
