Giving rise to the familiar downtown skyline of Michigan’s Capital City, the downtown district is centered on the state’s Capitol dome, the surrounding high-rises and office buildings, and Washington Square. This strip of Washington Avenue hosts trendy restaurants, power-broking pubs, law school hangouts, coffeehouses, and lots of quaint local shops.
