We’re Shipping<br />
the Cargo District<br />
What started small has grown into a sprawling neighborhood<br />
where small businesses can shine<br />
By EMORY RAKESTRAW » Photos by ABIGAIL WHITEHURST<br />
THE CARGO DISTRICT STARTED WITH A SIMPLE IDEA: BUSINESSES<br />
located in shipping containers. Eco-friendly, highly versatile, and equipped with an industrialgrade<br />
steel exterior, shipping containers are a low-cost investment for small business owners<br />
wanting to test their vision before the construction or commitment of a traditional brick-andmortar.<br />
Located just a stone’s throw from downtown, between Castle St. and Wooster St.,<br />
spanning S 16th and S. 17th street, this small idea has grown to an entire neighborhood<br />
with its own atmosphere and vibe.<br />
