About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does that delivery driver always wave at me?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘He doesn’t wave—he’s just waving goodbye to the old market.’ The next day, another customer noticed it too. A neighbor commented jokingly, 'Maybe he thinks you're his long-lost brother from across town!' The regular smiled, shaking his head. Finally, the cashier whispered to him, 'Hey, don't tell anyone, but I think he's actually saying goodbye to his own reflection in the window.'

2. One day, a regular noticed something peculiar on the market’s announcement board: ‘To our loyal customers—please bring your own umbrellas today.’ Curious, he entered, only to see everyone walking around with open umbrellas, even though it wasn’t raining. Finally, someone asked why they needed umbrellas. The baker smiled and said, 'It’s not rain we’re preparing for—it’s bread that might fall!' Turns out, every Wednesday their oven had a slight malfunction, causing freshly baked loaves to occasionally jump off the shelves like miniature paratroopers.

3. In the early morning fog, before the first customers arrived, a delivery driver parked his truck and stretched lazily. Glancing up, he saw an old lady standing by the bakery door, her eyes fixed on the clock above the entrance. The old lady’s lips moved silently as she watched the seconds tick by. Just when the clock struck six, she nodded approvingly and disappeared into thin air. The delivery driver scratched his head, grinned, and muttered, ‘Must be one of those regulars who knows exactly when we open.’

4. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near the loading dock and stretched lazily. Suddenly, he heard an unfamiliar voice whispering from behind him. Curious, he turned around and saw only an empty alleyway. ‘Must be the wind,’ he thought, but then realized his truck was humming a familiar tune. Startled, he looked down to see a small bird singing along with the engine. The delivery driver laughed softly, shook his head, and walked into the market, wondering if anyone else had noticed the strange sight.
