This is an upscale area for shopping and eating. It is fun to walk the circle and enjoy the people and shops. The Columbian Restaurant has the BEST black bean soup - and 1927 salad. One suggestion, park off the circle in one of the lots and walk through to get to the circle. More

Great place for shopping, eating, walking. Nice art galeries. Ice Cream shops or coffee shops you have it all. There is literally something for everyone. More

Lots of parking and if you don't see one on the main drag just go one block behind and take your pick. This is an ALL-DAY shopping and eating event so dress to be comfy and enjoy. More
