On the 16th St Mall, residential is focused on the north. That area is more cultural and has more locals around. The shops and restuarants move from TOURISTY CHAINS TO BOUTIQUE SHOPS as one travels north.

The theatre district, arts district, civic center are all in close proximity to 16th. Yet there is little incentive to come there after. There is no DESTINATION therefore no incentive to go there.
