What is the most walkable/urban commercial strip outside of your cities downtown?

Some have a mix or may have businesses in former homes.

What about Bryant St. in Highland Park?: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.4760...7i13312!8i6656

Oh yeah, I missed that one. I live around a 15-minute walk from there. It's not bad. Has a coffeeshop, neighborhood market, bakery, bar, 5 restaurants (Italian, Belgian, Thai, Japanese, and brunch) and a few random other businesses (yoga, clothing store, hair salon, laundromat, day care, tailor, auto body, etc).

My own business district is still pretty lame sadly. We have a decent neighborhood bar which serves food, and a coffee shop. Just recently a sewing studio and a fabric store moved into this storefront. But besides that the business district is full of hair salons, random small offices, and vacant storefronts.
