RIGHT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Shopping for ‘ambience’

POOR OLD city
fathers. And mothers.
We acknowledge their

burdens, and can only 4

imagine the pressures kitchen
under which they reach
decisions.

We perceive the not-so-
subtle lobbying by various
parties, and do not envy
council members the exer-
cises in judicature on our
behalf. We know that they
must choose between,
always hoping the side we
support is the side they'll
come down on.

Like the proposed market
at Lonsdale Quay.

It seems a perfectly splen-

did idea, and this from the b y Eleanor
point of view of a Granville

Island regular who has given Godley

up hér membership. Unless

one can be there at opening ee

time, parking is nothing —
short of abusive, and the
crowds are relentless.

True, there are several
charming watering-holes
from which to view the
throng and rest one’s feet,
but the object of a market is
to market, like the piggy. ©

What makes the market-.

type of shopping so alluring?
You could hardly say “price”
— the differences are slight, I
find, between supermarket
vegetable prices and those of
Granville Island. There's
some relief in the price of
fish, I think, but examina-
tion from booth to booth
suggests few in the way of

bargains.
1 think it’s just the
pleasure in the color, and

the variety, and the mingling.

scents of coffee and of ber-
ries, of donuts frying and

warm bread and flowers, and
the shoppers themselves.

Supermarkets have varie-
ty, in spades, but they also
have rigidity and turnstiles
and ankle-knocking shopp-
ing carts, and haggard, har-
ned patrons. The atmoshere
on. Granville Island, as
around the rickety stalls out
im Richmond, is one of
friendliness, and patience,
and feels like an outing, not
a chore. It’s outside the
norm. People come because
they need bread, and
cheese, and spinach, but
they also come to gawk, to
share the looser limits, for
what we've learned to call
the “ambience”. It’s a break
in the ordinary style, it’s a
Style of its own, and when
you sit in the sunshine with
your full basket and glass of
Cappucino you are part of a
more exotic place.
