I don't what the music is. I took a bunch of Super 8 films to a place that digitizes film and they made me a DVD and added the music. They digitized my parents wedding movies from 1951 as well using the same music. The films were shot silent.

We used to go there on Sat afternoon. The vendors would be looking to sell off their produce real cheap. You could get a case of oranges for $1.00. Same with the butchers. The place was filled with them. Now it's Lattes and $6.00 cups of ice cream

This view reminds me of the markets around my grandfathers house in modern day Aleppo, Syria; the market's just about Aleppo castle.

Thanks for this. This was the first year I visited Boston. I ended up in school there and worked there twice. I lived 5 minutes from the market. Great stuff. Thank you.
