 Welcome to Great Streets!
Contrast this recent mentality with the grace of streets and towns built as recently as the early 20th century, where city planners balanced the growing number of automobiles with other community goals and modes of travel.
But by the mid-1950s, new streets built in America made no attempt to accommodate anything but auto traffic, eliminating even the most rudimentary sidewalks, and relegating pedestrians to an often dangerous walk on a gravel shoulder or mad dash through traffic to simply cross the street.
Streets are central to building these new, "traditional" communities because of the critical role they play in creating a unique community identity, healthy business environment and public space for citizens to use and enjoy.

The ISH is a well-appointed hostel that is set up more like a posh hotel and as such it doesn't offer the social atmosphere that you would normally find in a hostel.
Since it was summer (June 2005) when I stayed, they had open-air Shakespeare plays in the park and it was literally a skip and a hop away.
But if you bring an earplug, which is a must as a backpacker, it was ok. Overall, this is a great place to stay in for the price.
