The Red Van Chronicles

A trader at the market in Bantry puts his stuff away at the end of the market day. During the day, stalls are set up around the main square (well, rectangle, technically) as well as in a nearby car park.

Yes, he was parked in an accessible parking spot, which made this more interesting, but the car park was full of traders that day, and nobody else was parking there.

Looks like Douyin is serious about local services. They've restructured into regional teams + one for big chains, pulling in sales leaders to better compete with Meituan. Big moves in China's local scene. #ByteDance #LocalCommerce #ChinaApps

@Brightdave @SrRochardBunson record, publicly, what grows is a suggestion. I had no idea that horseradish grew wild in my area but I found a local dude that made $60/month filling jars of it for neighbors with a tip jar on his porch. I won't grow it because I can afford to drop him $5 ever few months for a fresh jar! #localcommerce #guerillagardening #gooutside #growoutside
