"Piedmont Cash and Gas"
These two blocks are not really much of a downtown. It’s just a few businesses—a gas station and a bank. There’s really nothing here worthy of giving it the moniker “downtown,” except that it is the only place with businesses in most of the Piedmont neighborhoods. Really, Piedmont Avenue should be and probably is considered Piedmont’s de facto downtown.

But yes, it's not as downtown-y as Piedmont Avenue; for many Piedmonters, Montclair, or Lakeshore would be the "downtown" closest to the house--each with plenty of groceries, coffee shops/restaurants, offices and shops.
