You had tonnes of booths and people and shops all around and it was a really happening area.\n\nFrom what I keep seeing in the news though is management keeps raising the rent on places and they force all the small time guys to move out. Good Life bike shop is a perfect example. The whole point of a market is it's the community coming together into one place, and that doesn't happen there.\n\nDon't get me wrong with this review. I have nothing against the shops in there. I love a few of them. There's a few really awesome shops there. There's an accodian player there and he's SO GREAT! My wife and I go to the theatre there and love it. My issue with Eau Claire is the management of the market as a whole.\n\nTo sum up I just don't feel it contributes to the feel of a bustling happy community the way it used to."^^ . "1"^^ . "2"^^ . .
