The Sunday Market Over the Hill

When our prepaid, 4 weeks of booth rent was up at Golden Hill, Brian offered us an opportunity to setup at his Sunday Point Loma market.

"It's from 9:30-2:30 over on Canon Street next to the post office," he explained.  "We get a bunch of foot traffic over there.  People walking through after church, a lot of fisherman & from the boating community."

"What is the booth fee for that one?" I asked.

"The same as here, but you guys don't have to prepay.  Now that I know you're reliable, you can just pay at the end of the market."

Kate & I figured we might as well add another market & we were both off on Sundays.  

"Sounds good to us.  We'll be there next week," I told him.

So we showed up about an hour ahead of time the following Sunday & Brian gave us a spot on the block in front of an old sit-down Italian restaurant.  Kate had posted on Facebook during the week advertising how close Mad Munch would be for our friends in OB: "Come get your Munch on Sunday in Point Loma only 2 miles away!"

Kate's friend from high school, Alex, had just moved to OB from Virginia & became a regular customer at that market.  He'd stop by with his new puppy, Franklin who proved difficult to restrain in the open air arena of many smells.  Alex was fond of The Donnie Special with it's griddled maple syrup on Egg Bread with Ham, Egg & Cheese.  He was there nearly every Sunday to get one.

The market was decent for business, not quite as busy as Golden Hill & an extra hour longer.  The crowd seemed to be more into flowers, produce & jewelry than hot cheesy sandwiches, but we toughed it out for at least 4 or 5 weeks before we moved on to explore places to pop-up on Sundays.
