What our customers are saying
So much fun to be had! Great ambiance. There's something for everyone!
About the nicest area downtown to just hang out, shop, get a great cup of coffee, and people watch. Reminds me of Manhattan a bit. Just a stone's throw from Historic 4th Avenue. I love it!
A pretty location with good sidewalks for walking. There is a very close streetcar stop, metered parking, and nearby parking garages. A wide variety of small businesses and restaurants popular with the university crowd make this is fun area to visit.
