Othello Partners, developer of two TOD projects across from Othello Station, is organizing a bazaar in the Citadel’s parking lot for the next two Thursdays (7/29, 8/5) from 11 am to 6 pm. Last Thursday was the second time it was hosted and featured antiques dealers, a coffee stand, and a cherry stand. More vendors are expected to participate in this week’s bazaar, possibly a vegetable stand and other crafts. Vendors are still wanted and the first time is free, then $25 per space. Details and contact information are in the Craigslist posting. Although the bazaar is scheduled to be held for only the next two Thursdays, the bazaar may be continued if successful, which would be a way of activating currently underused space and attracting people to the neighborhood.
As for other uses of the lot, parking is available at $5 per day or $50 per month. Othello Partners is looking for an investor to fund the construction a mixed use development of similar size to The Station at Othello Park.
Hey, maybe if a disturbance breaks out, there could be some real LOOOOOOTing!
Choke yourself.
:p
Great! This and street food carts are exactly what we need to build walkable, livable communities during recessions. Its puts our empty spaces to use providing local services in a very low cost way, without waiting for $50,000,000 construction loans. Density and livability don’t have to be expensive – most third world cities get this right.
