Produce trucks crowd the curb here while workers stack crates and sacks onto the open beds, the kind of street-level scene that marked the early morning routine of a working city market. Wholesale produce moved this way for generations, with growers' wagons and then motor trucks carrying crops from farms on the edge of town into the central districts before dawn. The street itself is part of the story: the loading happened where the goods were sold, so the sidewalks and curbs became working space for the whole supply chain. Look at how the crates are piled and how many hands the work took.
