Railroad Square Art District — Attraction in Tallahassee

It looks pretty cool, but it was dead, we went on a Sunday and summer season. We went to check out the skatepark and it is right behind it. They have a great vintage shop that was open. We are from Jacksonville Beach and do not have Season's so our shops are always open, especially on the weekend. But it seems on the East Coast we have 12 month and committed retail hours and then central to the West is "no business on Sunday" church day.
