Commentary: The Maxwell Street Market has attracted people to live here, and it is an entrepreneurial incubator for working-class people.

Gilberto Ramirez carves al pastor at Rubi's Tacos on Jan. 16, 2022, in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. Rubi's, one of the legendary taco stalls at the Maxwell Street Market, has its own bricks-and-mortar restaurant. Rubi's Tacos has had long lines at Maxwell Street Market since 1997., moving from the all-outdoors new Maxwell Street Market to a bricks-and-mortar restaurant in the Pilsen neighborhood.

The market was successful because it was embedded in a residential neighborhood with six-day-a-week fixed-location shops; had tasty, cheap food from stands and restaurants; was next door to the huge South Water Street wholesale produce market; and had some of the best free blues and gospel entertainment on the globe. The wealth caused by the acquisition of social capital grew enormously.

I have shopped at the mostly outdoor Swap-O-Rama flea market at 41st Street and Ashland Avenue on cold Sundays in December, January and February when the new Maxwell Street Market is closed, and there are tons of shoppers there, even when they have to pay an admission fee.
