点评:We visited The Forks Market and noticed that the building and market concept has experienced a significant decline and degeneration in recent years, a shroud of its former self. Is This The New Portage Place? We noticed very few shops were still open, left; the Pancake House is gone, and the few remaining vendors and shops provided poor service and low-quality products, making the space feel more like a dungeon and tourist trap than a local quality market. There was no Christmas cheer here, and the food we tried was largely charred, undercooked, and cold in the main-level commons hall of gloom. Expensive, low-quality alcoholic drinks were available at the bars; these bars were all over the place, overkill, and rather disgusting; the whole building is licensed, apparently, and the central theme of the place is, in essence, booze and more booze, boozing, guzzlers and nightcap lushes, everywhere with no control, security or proper restraint. This government-sponsored drinking environment felt overwhelming, uncomfortable, and lackluster; an unsafe atmosphere was precariously floating throughout the building and in the shadows. It is concerning to know that the forks market is government-run, government-supported, and government-funded, with public funds and a cornucopia of continuous government grants funneling through the system here unchecked, considering this market's continued failed state of affairs, a shadow of its former self and now a disaster. Once a vibrant hub, the Forks Market is overrun by unruly visitors, poor service, low-quality goods, booze, lushes, and poor management embraced by government-funded neglect encouraging bankrupt visions. As it stands, we cannot recommend the Forks Market.
翻译:我们参观了福克斯市场,发现近年来,这栋建筑和市场概念经历了显著的衰落和退化,昔日的面纱已经不复存在。这是新波蒂奇市场吗?我们注意到,剩下的商店很少;煎饼屋已经不复存在,剩下的几家摊贩和商店提供的服务和产品质量低下,让这个地方更像是一个地牢和旅游陷阱,而不是一个优质的当地市场。这里没有圣诞节的欢乐气氛,我们尝试的食物大部分都烧焦了、没煮熟,而且在阴暗的主楼层公共大厅里都是冷的。酒吧提供昂贵而低质量的酒精饮料;这些酒吧到处都是,过度消费,而且相当恶心;整栋建筑似乎都是有执照的,这个地方的中心主题本质上就是酒和更多的酒、酗酒、狂饮者和睡前酒鬼,到处都没有控制、安全或适当的约束。这种政府资助的饮酒环境让人感到压倒性、不舒服和乏味;整个建筑和阴影中都弥漫着一种不安全的气氛。令人担忧的是,福克斯市场是由政府经营、政府支持和政府资助的,公共资金和源源不断的政府补助金不受控制地流入这里的系统,考虑到这个市场持续失败的状况,它已不复当初,现在已是一场灾难。福克斯市场曾经是一个充满活力的中心,但现在却充斥着不守规矩的游客、糟糕的服务、低质量的商品、酒、醉鬼和糟糕的管理,政府资助的疏忽大意助长了破产的愿景。就目前情况而言,我们不推荐福克斯市场。
