Downtown

As entertainment and business districts have developed their own personalities and economic influence, the City’s tendency is to refer to everything successful surrounding downtown as Downtown.  Intownmix considers downtown in the traditional sense – captain on the bridge.  Our Downtown section will be designed to help you navigate the various cultures and subcultures including the City run entities, the daytime business entities and nighttime entertainment offerings that are located directly downtown within Woodall Rodgers, I-35 Stemmons, I-30 and Central I-75 – it’s all good and that’s how we roll!
