South Richmond Market.This out of place block of brick sits among terrace apartments and has a light rail running along its rear. Roof parking is available. Open 7 days a week from 9am till 5pm (some stores open late till 8pm) the market has a wide range of stores. Encompassing an entire block the place is a great supply of produce for locals. Pet supplies, computer equipment, collectable trading cards, clothes, chocolates, small hardware (screws, bits&pieces), gardening, manchester, habidashery, and kitchen tools. The market is often busiest on Sundays.The market is split up by a central pathway with 6 other columns from end to end. The deli and meat areas run perpendicular to the main area. Many traders have under-the-counter merchandise like illegal CD's and DVD's. Of special note is that this place is also an Anarchists Cookbook pantry. Theres so many stores that one can spend 10 minutes getting everything they need to make a rudamentry pipebomb. Security has recently been increased with cameras but it is still lacking. This is one of the few places one can still get a toy dog that flips, made in Taiwan 10 years ago. Back alleyways are often filled with old vans, most traders wont notice you taking it, but watch out for the camera.23. Trade `n` Take. Thick metal bars cover the front window, behind sit older models of camcorders, phones, DVD players and the like. A sign above the door shows the proprietor as being the one David Newburg. All things bought, jewelry, collectables, entertainment technology. Inside are multiple glass display cabinets, all  categorised. A couple large box like video camera sits in the front and back of the store. The place smells like musk, a slight dusty place. Those with heightened allergies generally get a aggitated feeling here. Fluerescent lighting keeps this place lit, and small cathodes light up the cabinets.David and his wife Patricia operate the store, and have for 34 years. Odd collectables like an original Queen Elizabeth II innaugral dinner plate, or the skin of a baseball hit for a home run into the hudson river. A small selection of hunting knives and equipment is available behind the counter, but none are kept on display. Depending on local laws David also has a tiny collection of fuctional, collectable, and decorative firearms. All firearms are recorded and no illegal purchases can be made. He will however take your number for $200 and hand it to someone. His long time friend has a contact who can supply you with almost anything (<s>see 23</s>). 24. The Truck (Danger Mouses Moving Drivers). You've ordered something special from someone, chances are you'll meet with Gerald, fat hairy man, smells bad, talks with a slur. Problem is this locale is mobile, but warrants a description. This lorry/light truck has a multi compartment section, near the front is a small refridgerated area, for transporting things needing moisture. Gerald, while un-eloquant is very adept with a engine. The fridge compartment itself goes from -10C to 5C with a misting ability, good for transporting certain plants, heavy UV lights are installed behind a sliding panel. The back section of the truck has a ridged bed, riveted to the frame. In reality this floor has a fairly deep pocket 10ft long by 2 ft wide an 9 inches deep. Inside this compartment is mostly foam, and weaponry. Gerald has throughout the years kept this empty unless making a delivery. The truck is shielded with a lead/polymer sheeting to keep snoops from finding the compartments. The Cab is fairly standard, but has 3 radios, scanners, and such. Most people meet The Truck down a back alleyway in an abandoned area. 25. Oceans View, Bed and Breakfast. A small blue and white sign hangs by the road, next to it a steep well laid driveway. after a short incline the house appears. a large 3 car garage, doors often closed sits just the the right, and to the left a half submerged pool. Right in front, what looks like a house, with 3 seperate room extensions, with sliding doors, steps, and curtains. To the left is a similar 'Oceans View, Office sign' and a "Welcome" mat. Inside the office is a slightly raised counter, quite thin, and behind a large window with an unobstructed view of the bay/river/appropriate water body. The office is small, quant.An archway leads to a communal area, lounges and a small kitchen. Adjoining room doors and a few others with "Private Area." to the right a single step mezanene floor has a dining area. Breakfast is served from 8 am till 9:30. Each room has a double bed and a single with 2 bedside tables. The carpet is a yellow and gold shagpile, the lamps, bedframes and decor all very late 70's. However the mattresses are, and as assured, are new. Ear plugs are available for purchase in the office.Simon and Fionna Appleby live and run this place. The couple is extremely friendly and supplies all sorts of wonderful information on the area. Simon has a cold smoke hut, which he uses to smoke fish with tea tree bark and chips. If staying a prolonged time he will offer to take you fishing and smoke your fish for you, at a fee.An extremely well kept garden, and the views has kept this place as a number one place to stay in the quant wqaterside village an hour from town.26. The Continental. This run down red brick hotel sits in the less reputable side of town. This hold over from then 50's still holds many of the old light fitting, reception and bar area, and many of the rooms still feel new. Purchased in 1984 by widow Beatrice Dudly, and left to her son Marcus in 1987; the place had become run down. A lucky lotto ticket gave Marcus enough to refurbish the place a little, but given the suburbs degrading social 'appeal' he opted to just rent rooms out by the hour. Vibrating beds and 2 inter hotel channels of solid adult material means this place is great for getting away to. 47 John Smiths book in each week, and he still accepts cash. Marcus keeps officials away by stating its not a hotel anymore and a shared living area. The police in the area have found the place to be more honest than any other place like it in the area. Marcus doesn't allow prostitution through the front door but if a guest lets one in through the fire exit he knows nothing about it. In the last 2 years Marcus has had only one murder in the place.Each room has an en suite, most of them work. There are  rooms to a floor and 5 floors. The elevator has a good service record but has been boarded up and has a weight limit of 900 lbs. The 2nd level hallway has a damp smell.27. Chimera. Chimera is a cult collectables shop. A basement store with multiple sections, and large, 80ft by 250ft long. Entrance is by a sloped travelator down, at the end the beginning of the video section. The main selections here are cult B grade films, anime, nostalgic series never to be shown on TV again, and popular shows like Transformers. After these are books on the right, and toys on the left. Hellboy, Evangelion and Doctor Who are just some of the things adorning the toys. The books on the other hand cover almost any form of science fiction, fiction, or movie related. Artist based books like Giger are available as well. Up the back sits a comic book emporium like no other. Almost any title available is here, or can be ordered. A large back room houses rarer materials, some not permitted for general display by council laws, and others that have been put on layby or hold. Overall this place is filled with nerds, and the prices are a little higher than normal, but for a drop spot for information it can be a gem. Video security and alarm gates are thick here though.All work is copyright of Romney Tate, 2005.
