When I think ‘urban’, I think ‘people’. Which leads my thoughts to what those people do in their urban environment, which immediately screams ‘shopping!’ And then of course, one starts thinking about ‘the people who serve the people – the shopkeepers’.
So here, in response to the ‘urban’ theme, some local shopkeepers. 🙂

I would love to see the inside of that collectibles shop (as staffed by a part-time viking). I love a shop so crammed with books that it needs a sign to tell you where the counter is!
Yeah, it is an absolutely amazing place, and he’s quite something too. Aside from being an active medievalist and owner of a shop of collectibles and second-hand goods, he was also an extra in The Lord of the Rings. As he explains, “In my time as an extra, I was a Rohan soldier, a Gondorian soldier, an orc. I was alive, I was dead, I was wounded…”

Interesting selection of urban life.
They show so many things about culture, way of life, and daily biz.
I really enjoyed them.
Thanks Dunden – I appreciate the comment!
It’s good to start shopping with a good cup of tea 🙂
Indeed! In my case, however, perhaps rather a good cup of coffee! 🙂
