    It's funny. I go to pick up the mail and my husband asks me how many strawberries I bought this time. She is there all day in all kinds of weather. I can't not stop.

          Once upon a time.
          Today.
          There was a very Trumpy rural town.
          This small fruit stand is sometimes on the sidewalk in front of the parking lot of a chain pizza business.
          I always stop and buy something.
          Always.
          This time while I was buying cherries a police officer showed up. The fruit vendor didn't understand that he was telling her that the pizza business had asked the police to remove her from in front of their business.
          I understood.
          I offered to help move her stand the one foot that would be required to comply.
          As I started moving oranges and mangos other people stopped to help. Eventually even the officer came back to help us.
          We got it done.
          I took this photo to share with my husband and to help explain how I came to pay $100 for a small bag of cherries.
          Things are changing in a good way.
          I felt it today like an earthquake.

              @NorcalGma2 imagine calling the cops on your neighbour instead of just asking them / helping them to move, if it's such a problem

                  I don't get it, why did the police had to comply with the Pizza shop's request and enforce such an action?

                    Two legs of her table were on the edge of their parking lot. It wasn't clear where their paved area and the sidewalk converged. The police wanted her to move a foot to be sure she was on the public pavement per the business request that she was completely off their private property.
                    I asked the officer if he intended to arrest her and if I needed to get my whistle out. He said they were not interested in anything more than where her business was operating.

                              I understood.
                              I offered to help move her stand the one foot that would be required to comply.
                              As I started moving oranges and mangos other people stopped to help. Eventually even the officer came back to help us.
                              We got it done.
                              I took this photo to share with my husband and to help explain how I came to pay $100 for a small bag of cherries.
                              Things are changing in a good way.
                              I felt it today like an earthquake.

                                Today.
                                There was a very Trumpy rural town.
                                This small fruit stand is sometimes on the sidewalk in front of the parking lot of a chain pizza business.
                                I always stop and buy something.
                                Always.
                                This time while I was buying cherries a police officer showed up. The fruit vendor didn't understand that he was telling her that the pizza business had asked the police to remove her from in front of their business.
                                I understood.

                                  @NorcalGma2 One whole foot - the sheer pettiness of the pizza place - I’m so glad I don’t like mass produced pizza anywhere. At least the cops assisted in getting everything moved, and didn’t arrest her and her baby. Thank you for the story and for all the good people who helped.

                                    Our fruit vendor was set up on the corner yesterday for the first time this spring. My son is always excited for fresh fruit, so we'll be stopping by after chores today!
