February 26, 2019: Street Carts


These carts are one of my favorite things in Alex.  Many of them have brightly decorated wooden planks on the back.  Some of them have megaphones and speakers attached to them, so the guy selling things can yell into the megaphone and it’s amplified throughout the neighborhood.  There’s one guy who we hear often, and I’ve heard he’s not selling things, but collecting unwanted electronics from people’s houses. The other day we walked around a cart like this that happened to have a speaker on the side.  At the exact moment we passed the speaker, the guy yelled something into the megaphone. I’m choosing to believe this was a coincidence and that the man didn’t intentionally try to deafen us.
