Greater Mack Ave, St. Clair Shores

Greater Mack spans nearly the entire length of Saint Clair Shores. This would make it a major route for commuters, except that it ends, winds, turns numerous times, and that more than half of the avenue is a standard-sized two-way residential street. Commuters generally avoid these areas, making the residential areas surprisingly quiet.

The downtown area, located at 9 Mile road, adds a lot to this already great strip. Downtown hosts a number of shops, restaurants, inns, and much more. A small movie theater plays first-run films at a price lower than chain theaters. Cedar Gardens serves some of the best Mediterranean cuisine around. It's family friendly and wonderful to spend afternoons in.

I'd suggest this street for everyone. It's a great marriage of quiet residential within walking distance of a downtown area; you'll get "city" and "suburb" in only a few blocks!
