The Life of the Neighborhood (Picture #2)

Image result for cafe al mercato

  • This is in the Cafe al Mercato section of the Arthur Avenue Retail Market. Hordes of people in the community gather here every day to talk with each other about anything and everything. It is where the lifelong members of the community tend to spend the most time in their day, which is where I interviewed Salvatore for my assignment. This is a prime example of the community at work. In the morning, there are the people who rush to get to work.  They get their coffee and muffins, such as the firemen, educators, sanitation workers, etc. In the afternoon, usually there are more students that are conversing about their struggles with being full-time students and part-time employees. During the evening, there are families that get ready to finish off their day with a fresh cappuccino. Over time, there have been new ingredients and menus added because of the continued diversity in the area, such as new Mexican, Greek, and Albanian dishes. This is a great area for the community to converge and gather to talk about their opinions and concerns.
