RAINED OUT TODAY! FRIDAY Nov 7. Bummer. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!
Oh, Rooftop Market. You were so good to us last year; your shopping was fine and your burger sauce was plentiful. I remember spying one stallholder suffering a mild case of sunstroke. She was all determined-like begging to keep selling her goods.

Big Garage Sale at St Jeromes
There has been many a market regular who's pondered the origin of ‘flea market'. Like, was the first flea market run by business-savvy fleas that sold really tiny things for big money? Or did people gather to trade their wingless insects with one another? The answer, curious people, is this: the first flea market is said to have been born out of the French Marche aux puces in the northern suburbs of Paris.
The Bratwurst Shop
The most exciting part of the Vic Market is easily the deli section. Before starting your weekly shop you have the opportunity to make a nuisance out of yourself, mooching around, trying as many cheeses, olives, cold meats, pickled goodies, and wines as you can without spending a penny. It's great.
Now, a word of warning; don't get too carried away.
The Richmond Farmers Market
White people like Farmers Markets, and if the Richmond version is anything to go by so do people of other races as well. Shopping there on Saturday morning makes you feel like an extra in a United Colours of Benetton ad... one where people walk harmoniously down a narrow lane, squeezing fresh produce and forking out ridiculously small amounts of money for sustainable and organic goodness.
Penthouse Mouse
If you, like Kate Hannaford of MOTH Design, were opening a temporary fashion retail and exhibition space in an old city warehouse, would you call it ‘MOTH Design's temporary fashion retail and exhibition space in an old city warehouse'? No. You would totally call it Penthouse Mouse, or something of that ilk.
