The historic buildings, with their ornamental facades, are a sharp contrast to the district's other more modern structures. The Cannery Near the Webster Station Development is The Cannery, a redevelopment on East Third Street that will encompass retail stores, restaurants and loft apartments. Go Home, filled with accessories for the home, and The K-12 Gallery, stocked with art supplies for young people, are among the retail stores. Last year, The Cannery became the temporary home of the Wegerzyn River Market until the market moves to its permanent home in the RiverScape Development district, which is projected to occur in 2001. Every Saturday year-round, fresh vegetables and other items are available from more than 40 vendors.
Hours vary depending on the season.
