At the market: MondaySaturday

On the market for more than 50 years, a large part of which on the Noordermarkt. Before that on the Waterlooplein. Those were different times. Everyone was much poorer, they helped each other to load and unload the handcarts. There was a lot of Jewish humour. You often got stuff by cycling through the city with your cart in the early morning. But that life was too much for me. Being on the Noordermarkt twice a week is good, although it is also very different. Here too there is camaraderie and there is regular laughter. More information mobile +31 (06)28340501.
