How It Works

Reviews that actually help downtowns improve.

Rate five dimensions

Walkability. Local businesses. Events. Parking. Vibe. Not just a star and a sentence.

Write what you know

You live there, shop there, or visited. That first-hand knowledge is what makes a review worth reading.

Districts respond

Main Street directors see aggregate scores. The reviews that reach them first are the ones that name what needs to change.

What people are saying

Noble Street — Anniston, AL

★★★★★

"One of the most genuine downtown revivals I have seen. Real makers, real food, real community. Kress Mercantile alone is worth the trip."

Downtown Gadsden, AL

★★★★☆

"Strong restaurant scene and the river walk is underrated. Events calendar could be better coordinated. Worth visiting on a weekend."

Five Points South — Birmingham, AL

★★★★☆

"Creative energy is real. Parking is the only friction point. The art scene and independent dining make it one of Alabama's best."
