It has always be a question that has intriged me when I travel , where is the main street in city X,Y,Z as far as their downtowns are concerned.. what does you city consider it main downtown street or it nexus of actvity ?
Would say two for Philadelphia, though could argue Walnut Street is the most lively
Broad Street and Market Street - the Intersection is a quad where City Hall is located.
The grid of the remainfer of the downtownradiates from this point to a great extent.
The reason I asked if that someone gave me a great idea..I like live wall art and they did a video of main street Houston that I love and I wanted to see if I could do the same with the main streets of other cities I visted... his Istgram name is capturedaesthetic.. check it out him out to see whta I am talking about..but long before then I have always wondered about this...I am from Texas and I can not tell you what the main street in DT Dallas is.
For Miami Beach, that's a tough one. I'd say it's Lincoln Rd since it's the heart and soul of the city's pedestrian scene. Others might claim it be Ocean Drive with it's iconic Art Deco architecture while others might say it's Collins Ave: the main N/S artery that connects South, Mid and North Beach together.
For Raleigh, it's much easier. Fayetteville Street is the city's heart and soul. While it's a double dead end street, it prominently runs from the state capitol building to the performance arts center. It's also Raleigh's ceremonial street for parades and festivals while it anchors the majority of the skyline of the city.
