The Scene
The collection of merchants at 2100 South and 1100 East attracts everyone from grandmothers to punk rockers. The first shops arrived in 1910, when Sugar House was a residential

The Goods
Each shop's personality jumps from its windows. Many of the small businesses cater to eclectic tastes. While the area seems to focus on a younger clientele, the actual demographics span many age groups. Wander from eclectic to counterculture to conservative in just a few steps.

I love that the developers put the parking behind the storefronts on the street. The parking lot is a royal mess sometimes--so packed it'll make you crazy. But the meandering stream and the landscaping next to the stores and restaurants really makes it attractive on the parking-lot side, too.…
