| - Three stars for its current form. As the place fills out, I might be willing to give more. Overall this is the hub of local, sustainable, fair trade, etc. There are several vendors: produce, meat and seafood, honey and beeswax products, coffee shop, cake shop, pizza place and a few other small niche-y spots. There are several "wanted" signs posted so if you do a small, local thing and are looking for a space you might want to consider giving the proprietors a call. I'd love to see this as a full-out local bazaar style shop.
With that said, if you know local/sustainable you know penny pinching is not necessarily a feasible thing. There are really good, high quality products here and in this case I'll say you pay for what you get. It ain't cheap.
I foresee this place doing fairly well if it can get more vendors, the 7th street location is smart for those quick pick-ups for the before and after work commuter crowd.
