Before going to the Thursday Night Market, our freelance photographer Gary Feinstein shared some advice with me.
First, he advised me just to walk there from the office, since itâs close enough and parking is too much of a hassle. The other piece of advice that stood out was to bring money.
Gary was definitely right about the parking, as hundreds had already braved the heat and gathered for a debut night of festivities and fun at Civic Park. As for bringing money, it turns out I really didnât need to bring all that much. I came with $40 in my wallet and left with a pound of yellow nectarines, a little flat of blueberries, a slightly bigger flat of dates and a bottle of wine, with plenty of cash to spare. While balancing the plastic bags and my camera equipment, I found that what I needed far more than money was another pair of arms.
