On the air in Ljunga
Feb. 19th, 2023 09:02 amYesterday's interesting adventure was a live broadcast from Ljungaverk. This is a project of my boss's: local television.
What happened in Ljungaverk yesterday was that a new grocery store opened. This is noteworthy in itself for Norrland, where depopulation has been the norm for decades, but this was an unmanned, always open store.
My immediate reaction on entering was: Do they only sell candy? It turned out to be not quite right: there were indeed several shelves with diffent kinds of candy, and soft drinks, and variuos snacks -- all prominently on display :), but once I came to the shelves at the back, I saw bread, diary products, dry groceries and a reasonable assortment of readymade meals. What they didn't have was fruits and vegetables, but that may be understandable.
We were there to film the opening, and the first customers. There was actually a lot of people milling about, including one from my choir. I had mostly come along to help with getting stuff in and out, but I did some "extra" duty, walking around with a basket, looking at things. I also tried to push some people towards the reporter, to be interviewed.
People seemed very pleased with this solution. Maybe we'll see more of it.
