Union Marketplace

How sad is it that I’ve walked past this place daily for months on end and never peeped my head in the door until yesterday! Union Marketplace is located on the corner of South Eden & Fleet Street, two blocks up near Harbor East. You may be able to place it better by thinking of the Chazz’s/Ra Sushi/​Teavolve/​Townhouse Kitchen building and going a block up and AWAY from the water.
Beautiful handcrafted jewelry, a few pieces of used furniture, all-​natural soaps and lotions, a few clothing pieces, etc, etc, etc! There were even used books that ranged in variety from Grisham to McMillan, from cookbooks to Devil Wears Prada all ranging from $ 1-​$ 3 (plus tax). There were roughly about 6 vendor stations when I visited (some took credit, some cash only) but I was advised that the list is growing which is going to be bad for my change purse since I work a few blocks away and loved the variety of jewelry on display.
Curiosity piqued yet? Looking for a reason to explore it? On Saturday, September 28^th from 11am — 7pm there will be an open house with live music, face painting, massages, light refreshments, demonstrations and even a fashion show. Set aside some time to stop by! There’s still some organization that needs to be done but I got around fine and hopefully it will work out the kinks as time goes on.
Right now there is construction around the Eden & Fleet Street intersection so for parking, consider parking near the intersections closer to the restaurants or even in the garage directly across the street from Union Marketplace (if you have $ 3). There’s also about a few metered parking spaces around.
