Everything Else
"Our Place" is a new container complex with street style food, and craft/design pop-ups stores. Music and events are often hosted there. My good friends have a container there where they sell their home-made ice-cream. It is called 'East Coast Ice-Cream' and they do some awesome flavour combinations with all natural locally sourced ingredients.
