This is not an economic post of any sort.......it’s simply about the market...... a place where people come and go to do business. It is at the heart of most of the world's enterprising cultures, lifestyles and ways of doing business. It is the purest form of “buy and sell” and I love it.
When I think of the market, I am more apt to think food markets at interesting meeting places, or of the garden variety that sell flowers and shrubs and trees and all those neat horticultural goods.
There is life in the markets. People are there to purchase and to look around. The environment is healthy and full of zest. The food markets give us a chance to buy the freshest of goods, and to learn about all the produce that is available. The market gardens present seemingly endless rows of flowers and plants with all kinds of information about the name of the plant, type of environment for growing, expected size and "look" at maturity and more. It is fascinating! And it smells so fresh!!
I still remember a fantastic restaurant in Toronto that looked like a market.....you’d go from one area to another to pick the type of food you wanted, and it was in a large busy building, full of food choices and cooks who would make what you wanted, the way you wanted it. And you would be stamped at every food station, to make up your bill. Can’t remember the name, but it was such a cool place....and delicious!!
I especially love those markets located by a body of water, for some the ocean, others a lake, or even a river (like we have). There is a sense of wellness, freshness and energy and the atmosphere could not be more comfortable. And the world of free enterprise never worked so good...
