 Main Street Corridor



 
The Alhambra Renaissance Plaza includes an Edwards Theater, dining and retail establishments, plus wispy "dancing" fountains and colorful mosaic artwork to complement the Plaza's architecture.
 
The intersection of Main and Garfield has been a center of commerce since 1895. By the 1950s, Main Street had taken on the upscale look of Wilshire Boulevard's Miracle Mile and was the "in" place in the San Gabriel Valley. In recent years, the City of Alhambra has won several redevelopment awards from the California Redevelopment Association for its work on Main Street. The District is home to a variety of opportunities, including: 
  • Dining
  • Entertainment
  • Retail (big box and small retailers)
  • Mixed-use facilities/retail plazas
  • Alhambra Auto Row district
  • West Main Street Corridor
