Inside the Limelight Marketplace

While it may not be opening until the Spring of next year, the Limelight Marketplace invited us over today to take a look at the space as it transforms yet again. Photographer Katie Sokoler reports back that, "although it's just a bunch of mini stores, they don't want to be known as a mini mall! It's a market." The folks there also told her that it would be very family friendly (but no club kids), and "Saturdays it will feel like a carnival because they'll have clowns and mascots walking around." Terrifying!

Moneychangers in the temple? This wont end well.

It's kinda disturbing to see those workers not wearing really thick gloves

Ah I stood right there in the 5th pic high as ever on E. Listening to moby's remix of In This World. Good times folks Good times.
