In the 1970’s, like many other cities across the country, downtowns were hit hard with the growth of Mall Shopping Centers. People didn’t have nearly the need then to shop downtown (and less people lived there too), but fortunately with some smart planning, timely State grant money, and generous private investments Muncie’s downtown is really making a comeback! Most new people on their first visit to town end up doing a little downtown shopping, siteseeing, and of course eating and drinking. More about Downtown and Downtown Development: https://www.downtownmuncie.org/. This is a really excellent website and this section below comes straight from that site.
Here’s a MAP of the Downtown: HERE
The Muncie Journal also has a great section on all things Downtown: HERE
