An artisan market is an important component in establishing a healthy relationships in city dynamics. These markets not only allow for consumers to support independent and local businesses, it also delights them with absolutely unique handmade items. The Ponce City Market, located in a renovated Sears, Roebuck & Company building in Atlanta's "burgeoning Old Fourth Ward," is one such space. The community-enhancing and historically beautiful artisan market actively connects a number of neighborhoods through restaurants, cafes and retail.
"From morning coffee to lunchtime shopping and date-night dinner," the developers have strategically updated the area with public green spaces, a pedestrian-specific network, as well as access to the Atlanta BeltLine corridor. In addition, the artisan market's history-rich location adds a definite romantic twist.
