Whereas the craft show was deja vu all over again, an interesting and varied crowd was enjoying the variety of treats on Main Avenue, especially on the south side. The al fresco dining up and down the street added charm, and many young people were popping in and out of the shops, especially the Comfort Zone, artisan pizza shop, Positano boutique, and Odyssey coffee. Music was softly playing.
The atmosphere was quite alive, and there was just enough congestion, but not too much. This part of town needs to breathe. Huge crowds don’t help, and you can see that on the Pathway where a different flavor was on display—-rocky road.

Maybe the landlords of the empty stores should lower their rent. The spots would have been filled a year ago.
Thanks for the article. My wife and I personally enjoyed the Craft Fair.
There were a lot of visitors on Main Avenue (and all over the Grove) on Saturday looking for a place to eat. Comment I heard was “disappointing”. With Nagle’s temporarily closed, it makes the situation worse.
We don’t need anymore real estate offices. We need more places where residents (and visitors) can go to grab a bite to eat. Perhaps the powers that be can allow more retail (i.e. restaurant) space along Main Avenue or be more lenient when restaurants are looking for space instead of telling them that offices only are allowed.
