North Ludlow St, Downtown

North Ludlow Street is a perfectly located street with a little something for everyone. It consists of its fair share of department stores, restaurants, and has a semi-historical background dating back to the Vietnam war. It is a great place to bring any member of the family and provides a comfortable environment for everyone

My first job out of high school was on Ludlow and Second street. I worked in the First National BAnk which was in the Harries Buildling. Our bank moved out and another one moved in. First national Build a brand new skyscraper a block over.

The parking garage for Rike's a fancy department store was across the street and the Rike's store was catty corner from the bank.

Also on South Ludlow was the newspaper, other office buildings, newstands, etc. It is still a one way street. There was a time when there was an excellent Chinese restaurant and a secretarial school. During the Vietnam war there was a silent protest on the corner. Everyday there were people standing there holding anti-war sugbs but not saying anything. One day there would be 20 and the next maybe 5.
