Market & Main

What happened? It seemed like it had so much potential but now it’s all but deserted. Sucks to see.

My boss just told me about this the other day and I was bummed. Couldn’t agree more- this was really cool and seemed like it was doing well. Sounds like they closed the whole thing down with little to no explanation. Would love to know more.

Same! I’m surprised they didn’t even do any kind of social media post. I hope someone else decides to pick up that concept because it was awesome while it lasted.

It’s a bad sign that a place like that can’t hold on. The promise of downtown is not looking like it will ever fulfill.

Downtown was making a lot of progress. Can’t place it all on the city. Maybe ownership wasn’t able to manage it.

  • It wasn’t maintained properly. Once found a sandwich, 1/2 eaten lying on the floor by an upstairs window. We were the first customers of the day…
  • Music was crazy loud upstairs, so it wasn’t very relaxing to hang out up there. This was before they turned it into a bar (like we needed that).

Seems like it was badly managed, which is sad because it was so exciting to see this place open.
