Cherries and Blueberries for Sale to Commuters
Today, in perfect summer weather, someone had set up a fruit stand at Commercial-Broadway Station. It reminded me of a similar one just outside Russell Square Tube station in London.
In the warm sunshine of that October day, I stopped to buy cherries. They were fresh and irresistible, though obviously not local, at that time of year.
"Goin-'ome prices," called the vendor, hoping to tantalize as many buyers as he could before packing up. I bought some to have with tea in my tiny room at the Penn Club in Bedford Place.
Didn't buy any today, but tomorrow, I'll stock up before I get on the up escalator.
Healthy produce at the station. Convenient and refreshing. It makes a really nice change from the chain-store fast foods that are sold on the same concourse.
