We love the statues and benches within the area; one of which where Forrest Gump famously sat. Cobbled streets all around accounting for many bars and restaurants, cute candy stores, manicured parks, and horse-drawn carriages. Most of what you’ll see is very unique to the area with a lot of beautiful architecture; especially seen in the Victorian District.
