The Arsenal Project welcomes a new food truck to it’s Wednesday lineup. This one features a fusion of Turkish and Chinese cuisines! Uyghur Kitchen features food from China’s Northwest province known as Xinjiang. The Uyghur (pronounced wee-geer) are Turkic people who live in Central Asia, and their food includes influences from neighboring areas of Turkey, Tibet and China. The food truck is run by Pie Polat, who plays in a jazz-rock band called Background Orcs by night and runs the food truck by day.

By |

It has a new name, a new look and some new features, but the big changes are yet to come at the Arsenal Project. Since buying the Arsenal Mall and changing the name to the Arsenal Project, the owners – Boyston Properties and The Wilder Cos. – said they have plans to add stores, restaurants and other features to the site. Arsenal Project General Manager Allyson Reed said nothing has been set in stone, but she expects they will have something to announce in the next few months. The mall has reached out to the public through social media to find out what kind of things they want to see in the upgraded mall.
