Fair Trade has an awesome new space at the basement of the old A.E. motor building in the middle of Civic Space Park, and it's going to be a great hangout spot for ASU students, light rail commuters and downtown residents alike. It's much airier and brighter than the flagship spot on Central and Roosevelt, and the grand opening event last night provided some great insight on how nice this spot can be. Tucked amongst the waterfalls and open-air patio seating, there are great views of the park, the Westward Ho and ASU's campus.
Here's hoping they keep that mobile bar for use on the patio out front. It provided some cool liveliness to the spot that the other store sometimes needs.
