The market
Source A (original memoir):
“The old market was a glorious confusion. You asked for apples and heard a story about the orchard. The stalls stood so close that strangers apologised, laughed and began talking. Now every aisle is wide, every label clear. I can finish my shopping in ten minutes. I have never felt so efficiently alone.”
Source B (original access report):
“Since the refurbishment, I can take my wheelchair through every aisle. Labels are low enough to read, and the counter near the entrance has a lowered section. People tell me the old market had more character. Perhaps it did. I spent most of my visits outside, waiting for someone else to choose my fruit.”
