Between 10th & 11th on Fatherland is a commercial complex containing an 'incubator' for local entrepreneurial start-ups. There are restaurants and locally-owned shops with bespoke product. I believe shops have to be locally owned and operated (no chains) and sell only product either personally created or locally sourced.
