My next move was to do what you did and make a grocery store and have crates of fruit and vegetables out front. I might do a hot dog vendor as well, but something I found a few photos of is a pickle vendor. When I have time.

You should send us some photos of what you have done so we can put them up in the reader work section.

In Baltimore, there is a tradition of “Arabbers” — small scale entrepreneurs who sell fruits and vegetables from the back of horse drawn carts. Historically, the majority of Arabbers were African-American men, and despite all odds, this tradition continues. Disaster struck when the city condemned one of the temporary stables earlier this year due to unsafe conditions, but thanks to the help of Arabber Preservation Society, a stable is being restored and there are currently six teams (i.e. horse and produce cart) working in Baltimore. Occasionally, one of the teams comes down my street, and just for a second, when I hear the Arraber’s bell and the clip-clop of the horse, it feels like I’m in another time.

Using break wheels was one of my first thoughts as well, but I was unable to find a good one I liked. I still want to make a few more so I will keep looking.

I don’t think I have the patience to do the wheels. I’m thinking another option would be to use breakwheels from cheap cars.
