odd jobs

These are the people in our neighborhood, in our neighborhood, in our neighborhooooood, oh, these are the people in our neighborhood...  They're the people who you meet, when you're walking down the street, they're the people who you meet each day!  ~Mr. Rodgers 

Motorcycle Milk-Man.  We haven't tried this, but I love the idea of it!  He drives around, and people run out with their milk bottles for him to fill up.

Garbage Man.  The garbage men come around every day.  They collect the bags of garbage, and then immediately open them and separate everything into plastics, compost items, cardboard, etc...

Ironing Man.  This man heats up coals on a fire all day and places them in an iron.  You drop off your shirts and he gets the job done.   

Competing Ironing Man

Gas Delivery Man.  This guy delivers gas.  Every time I have to walk past this truck I swear it will be my last moment on earth.  I don't understand how this truck doesn't blow up.  

Barber.  These guys are known as "UMT" (Under Mango Tree) Barbers.  I have been trying to get Tyler to get a shave or haircut from one of these guys.... :) 

Another Barber 

Vegetable Man.  They go around the neighborhood all day long shouting out what they have.  Love it!

Sugar-Cane Juice Man.  He sticks the sugar cane through a press and squeezes out a mug of juice.

We're not really sure what this guy does.  He (and many like him) cycle around yelling something carrying old dirty bags.  We think maybe he collects bottles.  

This is an old power-house on the corner of our street.  A big family lives here with little kids who always run out and wave to Violet.  The family, I think, does odd construction jobs around the city. 

This is their front door.
