The Garage is a revitalizing space that features small businesses, with Mayfly being a standout. This local shop specializes in upcycled fashion and showcases the work of various artists and makers. Visitors often enjoy meaningful conversations with the owner, who actively creates new items. While The Garage has a nostalgic feel, reminiscent of the 80s, its occupancy appears low, with concerns about foot traffic due to its upper-level location. Some guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere for working or relaxing, although accessibility issues, like steep ramps and non-functioning escalators, have been noted. Overall, The Garage offers a unique shopping experience but could benefit from more vibrant storefronts and better accessibility features.
I was so excited to see they are revitalizing the Garage with small businesses! Mayfly is now open and it’s a cool local upcycled fashion shop with different local artists/makers. The owner is even in there working on new items at her sewing machine. More of the closed storefronts will be opening up soon!

This place always seems like it's on the verge of ending. Occupancy seems like it hovers around maybe 50%? And how do you get any foot traffic if you're not on the ground floor?
