Yet, for over twenty-five years most business development has taken place uptown. This term must be taken quite literally as it's a fairly steep incline to the top of the hill. That could be one reason why my 'walks' are along the river rather than uptown! Yet, when I want to go to the library, hit the mall, visit my dentist, or sneak in to the closest McDonalds, I drive about a mile up 6th Street.
The area near the intersection of Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue is the
city's main shopping area.
