I can't tell you how much I miss Preston Markets, even now. My oldest and I were a fixture there. Vendors knew his name/he knew them etc. We were there upwards of three times a week from when he was a newborn. The sounds of the market would soothe him to sleep when he was a baby. He had a tiny size 2 uniform of the taco truck that Ellie bought for him and he wore proudly out and about.

The few markets we have in Perth are more like Queen Vic than just regular weekly shopping markets.
