Fulton St. as in Brooklyn?

I think I've only been there twice. But to me, it's pretty much like a little more ghetto version of 34th Herald Square, with all the same or similar shops and also a blend of Harlem in. Overall, it's pretty nice, since it's by the River. It's funny because the next few blocks, on Jay St., it's all quiet and nice.

however, it is good if you want bargains and cheap priced clothes

First off, Fulton Street is a big street and honestly in most of it's run through Brooklyn, it's kinda bad.

And fulton street in Clinton Hill... I think you mean by the Clinton Washington Avenue stop on the C train... that area is really not like the rest of Clinton Hill, it looks run down. My old high school's football field was on Fulton street a block away from clinton washington and it was next to these (HUGE!) project buildings.

Fulton Street is very long. It runs from one end of Brooklyn to the other (from Down town/Brooklyn Heights through to East New York).

The down town part has a lot of fast food restaurants and stores like Dunkin Donuts, Burger King, Wendys, McDonalds, Modell's, Macy's, Kay Jeweler, Dr. J's etc. (by the way Fulton Mall was torn down)

As you travel towards Clinton Hill you see more apartments buildings, supermarkets, laundry mats, restaurants and salons/barber shops.

Keep going through to BedStuy and you run into another shopping area including fast food restaurants like Golden Krust, McDonalds, Rent A Center, Jennifer Furniture, small mom and pop stores and carribbean restaurants.

Further into East New York you see mostly apartment buildings and a few stores here and there.

I am not sure why you are inquiring but I wouldn't want to live on Fulton Street due to the noise and traffic however, if your opening a business it would be a great location.
