About the neighborhood
A shopping street or shopping district is a designated road or quarter of a municipality that is composed of retail establishments (such as stores, boutiques, restaurants, and shopping complexes). Such areas may be pedestrian-oriented, with street-side buildings and wide sidewalks. They may be located along a designated street, or clustered in mixed-use commercial area.
In larger cities, there may be multiple shopping streets or districts, often with distinct characteristics each. Businesses in these areas may be represented by a designated business improvement association.
