Always a nice area to visit. There are some good restaurants and stores for antiquing. Also a couple of comic book and toy stores with a good selection. Glendale Glitters was always a big draw for this area too. Sadly, that event has been missing or significantly reduced over the years

I love this part of town. You can tell the shops are owned by family businesses and I’m always eager to support that. We are swallowed up by huge chains and big businesses, it makes you forget we are just all out there trying to make dreams come true.
