ONE HUNDRED BLOCK OF NORTH FOURTH: STANDIN' TALL

We all worry about the CBD and, no doubt, there are some issues there. Right now, the all-important 100 block of N. 4th St., across from the lovely, decorated park is holding its own. Park Bench, Shoe Store and Wine and Cheese bar all great contributors to the nice urban, quaint-but-hip look.

Not exactly a wine and cheese guy but good luck to all the classy merchants there. You do the Lincoln-Douglas site proud!
