Downtown Green Bay, Inc. — Local services in Green Bay

I'm a night owl so it doesn't hold that type of appeal for me, but it's clean and there are remarkably few empty storefronts. Few vagrants if any, no piles of trash, etc.

I stayed at a downtown hotel and I was afraid of a Judgement Night situation (terrible film but not a wholly unrealistic depiction of LA at the time,) or worse: BALTIMORE; but it had more of a mall at closing time feel. Not as charming as Duluth but an order of magnitude cleaner.

I wish that more of the nearby businesses were open early in the week, but that may be a post-Covocalypse condition. The aroma of local industry may be a bit off-putting for some, but it tells me this is a working city. Def worth exploring Thursday through Saturday when there are more dining and entertainment choices available.

As far as infrastructure, it could do with more greenery and less surface parking. I did not see bike lanes but the speed limit is low and traffic isn't terrible. It should be easily navigable for a moderately experienced urban cyclist. I did not notice a lot of busses but probably not enough ridership to warrant it during off peak hours when I arrived.

The Fox River Trail makes for a great walk, with cool tunnels and picnic tables along the way. But the best part of Green Bay is that it is affordable. Lots of cool Vintage Clothing Stores and make it a great location for families ( free splash pad) and for those who want a River walk downtown experience without...

Between farmers market and art show it was a very enjoyable morning. Only problem is that the prices are HIGH! There is a self serve stand by my house for a third of the price. The artwork was really nice and unique but you would need a bank loan to buy any of it. Too bad because if it was reasonably priced I would have bought some. And yes I know, artists need to make a living also but they don't need to scalp...
