- Here's a link to the map of the walking tour that I went on
- First Impression- Each street that I went on had a different first impression though. Market Street had a business impression, a more serious feel to it. Water Street had a more empty impression to it because it is the back of all the stores on the mall. And Main Street had a eco friendly feel to it with all the trees.

- Safety- When I went to the Downtown Mall for my walking tour I felt very safe, I went with two friends so just being with people my age made me feel even better. I feel like if I went by myself I still would have felt just as safe. Being on the mall at night is a little different than if you go during he day. I don't feel as safe at night but than again I don't feel as safe anywhere at night as I would during the day.
- Gender, Racial, and Ethnic Patterns- I feel like the Downtown Mall has a very wide variety of gender, race, and ethnicity. I wouldn't say there is more of one gender or race on the mall.

- Gentrification- There isn't too much gentrification going on at the Downtown mall because there isn't much housing going on. There are some stores that have changed of altered their store front to look different or have a different feel. For example, Urban Outfitters has changed to look like the other stores around the country. This change make the store stand out from other stores on the mall, this could help customers come to the store.

- Location of specific industries, retail stores, restaurants and housing- There are four banks on the Downtown Mall they are all their own building also. This shows that banking is popular on the Downtown Mall, it could show that many people go on the mall so this is a good place for banks to locate. Housing on the mall is all on the top levels of the buildings. This causes all the stores to be on the group levels. Restaurants are on both ground and top levels.
