Hosting more than two million people, Freetown streets are crammed at all times of the day. Krootown Road market is overcrowded but also one of the most vivid places in the city. It is not just a market where you buy your groceries as you hurriedly pass by. The market is a common venue for social interaction. The connection between the vendors and the customers is more than one of sellers and buyers: people have relationships with one another, exchanging information about their lives as they do business.
