The iconic James Brown statue and nearby Riverwalk contribute to the street’s appeal, making it a beloved spot for both locals and visitors alike.
These rankings are the result of a poll conducted by photo book brand Mixbook, which surveyed 3,000 people to create its “America’s 100 Most Charming Main Streets” list.
