We’re not sure if there’s any real hope of this, save for a total street-food takeover, but the windowless, semi-sad Emeryville Public Market wants to become cooler, and is getting a makeover. The East Bay Express reports that some vendors are on their way out, including the already shuttered Bay Café Hofbrau, and some new food tenants are on their way in, along with a major new “rad” anchor tenant: Guitar Center. So, sure. Stoned teenagers will probably continue eating here. [EBX]
