Chalk one up at the Marketplace

The annual Chalk Art Festival is coming early to the Marketplace this year. On September 18 from 9 am to 5 pm 20 artists will decorate the plaza with fleeting glimpses of beauty and whimsy as they create colorful designs with chalk that will be washed or worn away in a day or two. Visitors can vote on their favorites.

Clothes that fit? Now that's Unique

There's a new shop at the Marketplace called Unique Boutique where your body is scanned at 200,000 points to create a 3D replica of your body. The scanning takes place in a little booth where you disrobe down to your underwear. Once your body scan is done, the information is available to you online and when you order clothes through their website, the measurement information automatically orders your best size or even tailors clothes exactly to your measurements. The body scan costs $50. During October, Unique Boutique will doneat 50% of the proceeds of every BodyPrint to research to prevent breast cancer.
