What a terrible place to have in the middle of downtown! It is overrun with gangs of teenagers, the shops are all junky and cheap, the restaurants are average at best, nothing to write home about, and after dark - watch out - lots of crime. Any music acts are third-rate. Pretty scary place to take the kids after dark as well. If you want a nice family outing, opt for San Marco or Riverside - much safer and a better class of shops and food.
