The Municipal Market was founded in 1924 and now houses twenty four individual businesses. There is a wide range of items at the market from popcorn to seafood. As I walked into the Municipal Market I felt at home. There is a strong sense of community. The market allows familiarity. People who come in greet those who own their businesses as close friends or even family. I personally truly enjoy the Municipal Market. It promotes private businesses to strive. The market is very close to my dorm which allows me to buy fresh fruits and vegetables sometimes at a cheaper price. The market offers things such as a book store and a pharmacy. The books in the book store are old and reused. This is a great way to buy books at a cheaper price and have access to books that may not be available anywhere else.

The market is large and can seat many people but it was very vacant. There were about twenty customers in the market. The way the market is built may make customers shop at mainstream grocery stores. The market is not as modern as grocery stores. The way the market looks may give potential customers the idea that is not as efficient or clean as another place.  The Municipal Market allow you to meet the people who make and produce the food you are about to eat. The workers were extremely kind and were available to help me with anything I needed. The market made me happy because it was nice to see people working, doing something that they loved.
