Preston Market

There's been a lot of things going on.

You've got an update on Save the Preston Market?

Yeah, there was a...

At Darabin Council's meeting on Tuesday night, Councillor Angelo Vallella tried to put through a motion calling on the Darabin Council generally to give support and by way of negotiating, I guess, with the state and federal governments with a view towards public acquisition.

So that's no longer taking place.

But what I recommend people do is they go onto social media, go onto Facebook as well as Instagram, because in particularly the last few days, there's been a lot of activity on there.

regarding the updates to Save the Preston Market.

Also, you had until Wednesday, I understand, to make a submission to the state government with respect to the proposed plans, the proposed development.

1-300-800-222 is the number.

So we've got that and a tote bag, which I like the tote bag.

I'll use this.

Now, didn't someone, when we talked about the Preston Market last time, someone from overseas has messaged through?

So somebody messaged from New York.

Now, on to our latest episode.

So George is involved in the Save the Preston markets.

If anyone's ever been to the Preston markets, they're a very vibrant market with lots of options for food and for all sorts of other things.

And the markets have been around for a long time.

They're a resource that the local community and even people that live farther afield value highly.

We have to be prepared to go for years.

basically.

We've already, in this iteration of Save Preston Markets, we've been going since 2021.

Yeah.

Do you know, like I, I went to the Preston Market and bought like provolone from the, like, Italian, one of the Italian delis.

Yeah.

Like, fuck.

I reckon that one of those delis at Preston Market, they test ya.

What do you mean?

'Cause once Bridge went in and said, um, "I'll get the chorizo." And the old Italian nonna goes, "Did you want the Australian chorizo, the Italian, or the Spanish?"

[laughs]

exactly i feel like that's what melvin is about it's like you can't find something you do it yourself yeah no one will you know literally no one will literally uh but yeah tell us more about your truck the menu uh we should have introduced it properly at this from the start but we got carried away um so it's called fool me twice and you go you have every second week so every right now it's every

fortnight at so it's Saturday and Sunday every two weeks so basically we skip a weekend and then we're on for a weekend and uh that's just what I'm doing now because of Bahia and my life but uh hoping to ramp up to more days and currently uh at Preston Market uh the next dates are actually the 10th and 11th of October okay uh from 8 a.m until 3 p.m um And it's been going really well.

We've done it now twice at a smaller market and then twice at Preston, actually three times at Preston Market.

And the way it's been received has been shocking, like from Egyptians and Arabs and Jews.

non-Arabs and everyone has been so open to trying it which I really appreciate and we have repeat customers as well and obviously because it's such a universal food like

And yeah, thank you for tuning in and see you at Preston

Market, 10th and 11th of October, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fool me twice.
