The year-round Soda City Farmer's Market is starting a Tuesday-through-Friday mini market on the Marriott Plaza in front of Nest. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Saturday market will keep going.
More great news. The momentum downtown has reached critical mass and then some.
If they can return the Arcade to it's original grandeur it can be a huge draw. It already has quite a few businesses in there, but putting bars and restaurants back in the Downunder location will be tremendous. It didn't really work in the 70's, but with so many people living, working and staying in hotels in the Main Street area now, it could be a tremendous success.

Would bars and restaurants in the basement level pass modern code standards? Kinda strikes me as a fire hazard. Regardless, the refurbishment of the Arcade is great news. I hope this paves the way for more percale businesses to occupy the building. Those small, ground level spaces would make for an excellent craft cocktail or wine bar, the latter being nonexistent on Main Street now that Wine Down has closed (and even it barely qualified as a wine bar).

When they renovate the building it will have to be brought up to code.

Well, yeah, but the cost could be prohibitive. Fire Marshall standards are a lot tougher now than they were decades ago. I don't see the basement becoming a nightlife spot anytime soon.
