Gus Pollock, manager of the new Walnut Bridge Market at 204 Walnut St.
Walnut Bridge Market framed its first $1 bill.The new Walnut Bridge Market in downtown Chattanooga aims to be many things to many people.
Tourists can rent Segways, or two-wheeled motorized transporters, as well as tandem bikes and adult tricycles from the market at 204 Walnut St., – just two blocks down the street from the much-loved Walnut Street pedestrian bridge.
Downtown workers can pop in for locally-made sandwiches, free-trade coffee and bottled beer they can drink at tables outside.
And nearby residents now have a convenience store handy, since the market, which is on the first floor of the Walnut Commons Apartments building, sells staples including peanut butter, dog food and toilet paper.
“I would say that we are a number of things,” store owner Dianna Ward said. “There is just really a little bit of a [food] desert on this side of the bridge.”
