Karen and Joanne sell hot fruit on a folding table under the elevated train on Avenue X. They set up their beach chairs at 7AM and wait for the truck to drop something off. Today was a score. Driscoll’s Strawberries at a Dollar a pop! Sometimes they have cantaloupe, sometimes bags of oranges. Pineapples sell the best, they say, because no one can resist bringing a 50¢ pineapple home to their family after work. |
I finally farted out the last of those strawberries this morning.
