Concentrated primarily on the blocks and side streets between Front and 8th Streets, South Street offers an eclectic mix of more than 300 shops. Most are independently owned and cater to a mix of, well, just about everyone.
Head shops, tattoo parlors, hip-hop clothing stores, independent record stores, whimsical home and gift shops, and kinky lingerie and sex shops coexist on the street.
From the ridiculously comfortable options at Benjamin Lovell Shoes [1] to the cheap and trendy fashions at Bare Feet to athletic wear at Reebok and Foot Locker, South Street is the place for shoes of all kinds.
