Farewell to Mein Markt

This post is for my friends who have lived here and loved this little market right by our apartment building.  The doors are closing at the end of the month.  Everyone is sad.  Really sad.  It’s been the go-to shopping destination for missionaries and for our neighborhood for many years.

Shopping in Germany is different than where we come from.  Here you buy small quantities of food, enough for a few days or a week.  You bring and fill  your own shopping bags.  You usually are on foot or a bike, so you have to be able to carry what you buy.  Older people have little roller grocery carts and you see them coming and going.

This little market has employed refugees who need work.  It serves our little neighborhood.  They say the refrigerators and freezers need to be updated and it’s too expensive.  So at the end of the month, the doors are closing.  We will be sad to see it go.

Our apartment is on the 6th floor in the corner above this little store.  I wonder what will happen there next.

This is the parking lot by our apartment building and by the little store.  With some seniority, you get to park underground.
