 We're at Soa Open Market, which has been a staple of the neighborhood since 2003. The market is as lively as ever as we move into this fall 2022 season with lifted pandemic restrictions. Located at 450 Harrison Avenue in south of Washington, Boston, Soa is a hub of local vendors selling everything from vibrant glassware to food-centric artwork. In light of the pandemic, closings in limited capacity prompted local vendors like Laurel Greenfield to temporarily shift her food art business online, although Greenfield said that business is picking up with returning students in the approaching autumn. So I sold, I started selling mostly in person, and then of course everything was online. So I was selling on my website, I have my own website and an Etsy store, and then I was selling a lot through Instagram as well, so I ate something, put it up for sale and sell it that same day, but now it's gone back to a lot of still online but in person sale. Last year definitely was a little bit slower before, so hesitant to go out, not really sure, kind of deciding what their personal comfort level was, and now it really seems like, especially since this is an outdoor, really fun activity, people are coming out, they're shopping again, all the students are back, so that really helps too. Since Soa's return to normalcy, owner of Charged Glassworks and Soa veteran of five years, Sarah Michalik, has seen an influx of customers and more successful business. It's insane, it's never been this busy, yeah, sales are off the charts, I'm actually worried because I don't have enough to get me through the holiday season now, so a good problem to have, but yeah, it's been amazing this year. The Soa market is certainly thriving this season, with pandemic restrictions lowered and a false spirit in the air. In Boston, I'm Mackenzie Waterfield, BU-TV10.
