| - For such an early review, you have to take it for what it is. 7th Street Market is still under construction, and not all of the tenants have completed their spaces yet.
That said, this is something Charlotte has been yearning for. It's a huge open space where Ried's used to be with a dozen or so stalls that feature local businesses and an wealth of organic, locally sourced and sustainable food. Bakeries, butchers, produce, coffee, wine, pizza, and a second location for Fran's Filling Station, plus more to come. On my visits (I've been a couple of times so far), there has been live music and an interesting mix of people hanging out in the seating areas central to the space. It takes on the feel of a big-city farmer's market and is the perfect spot to spend an afternoon.
I've very interested to see how much more vibrant the market becomes once it's completely finished!
