The area

Neighbourhood: Civic Center

Civic Center is the seat of power for all things government and performance-related in the city. Although its streets are best walked during daytime, numerous cultural gems are within close proximity to one another. The symphony, opera, ballet, and jazz center offer year round entertainment within the shadow of the city’s Beaux-Arts crown jewel: the gold tipped dome of City Hall.

Not an Attractive Fountain

Aug 2019

This one is a big miss in terms of street design. Just an ugly fountain in an unpleasant square. It improves when the farmer's market is here, but otherwise cold and uninviting and full of junkies. I worked in this area for 25 years and it has never improved, sadly.
