The Vision for 23rd & East Cherry

As a traveller walking through some of my favorite places, like Bangkok and Amsterdam, I fell in love with the uniqueness of the sidewalk cafes and small shops. I found myself constantly snapping photos and soon realized that I was so intrigued with these spaces because they represent a certain individuality and character. Contrary to the American perspective which is dominated by "Big Box" retailers, I set out to bring this "Small Box" concept back to my neighborhood in Central Seattle. Our vision at Central Space is to recreate a typical street scene from Asia or Europe in the form of a new shopping destination on E. Cherry Street between 23rd and 24th Ave. The Small Box Blog is dedicated to sharing this vision with the people who will help make this happen, including those who will eventually inhabit the spaces, neighbors and visitors. Ultimately, this project is being built to promote a better quality of life for members of the Central Seattle community. Thus, we welcome all feedback and suggestions on how we can make it better serve the people. http://centralspace.com/enquiry.php?id=3&unitid=20
