16 West Marketplace on Church Avenue in Roanoke is harkening back to its roots as the former site of an S&W Cafeteria. It’s now home to the “Crafteria” with outdoor signage that recreates the old S&W sign. You can find handmade food and goods there as co-founder Mark Lynn Ferguson explained at a ribbon cutting this morning. The new “makers market” features goods from more than 60 craftspeople; there’s also a community kitchen that can be rented out by food entrepreneurs.
