It’s 3.30 in the afternoon and vendor Omica Douglas is making her second sale for the day.
“Watch this,” she says, “Four hundred dollars. Y’all just see me make my second sale for the day. I gonna add it to my $500. That’s $900 I mek for the day. It sound nice, no?”
Douglas is one of the almost 100 vendors who were removed from the Stabroek Market Square on May 1, 2016. The vendors have since been relocated to a lot at Hadfield and Lombard streets, which has since been dubbed “Parliament View Mall.”
