I saw Curtis and Jenny eating together outside of Krog Street Market with their dog. I decided to ask them a few questions to understand how they ended up at Krog Street Market. **Special Note: Curtis felt it was important to include their ages in the Built Environment Description. Curtis and Jenny are both 28-years-old.**
Me: Why did you choose Krog Street Market to eat tonight?
Jenny: I like the food. It’s great here.
Curtis: Yeah, I like the food a lot. I like it better than Ponce City Market.
Me: Why?
Curtis: Krog has less people and I feel like it has better food too. Plus it has a chiller vibe.
Me: I see you brought your dog with you. Is a pet-friendly environment important to you?
Curtis: Yes, I bring my dog everywhere…to Ponce and to Krog.
Me: Are picnic tables important? Do you use Krog Street Market for socialization?
Curtis: Absolutely the picnic tables are important. It’s important to be a community.
Jenny: Yeah, I bring a lot of friends here, especially friends from out of town.
Me: Do you live in walking distance from Krog Street Market?
Curtis: Yeah I do. Ponce has more parking spaces available but that doesn’t matter. I like walking.
Me: Anything else you’d like to add about Krog Street Market?
Curtis: Krog Street is progressive. I think more places in this city and cities across the country will be more like this. I think more places will be more “market-style.”
