I went there to pick up an Amazon package, but was pleasantly surprised. The unusual art items in this store were great... Some of which I plan on returning to purchase. A few are a little pricey, but they are one of a kind pieces done by local artists!

This market is cute and fun. The building is rather worn down though.
