The momentum of Shaw’s commercial landscape is undeniable, as evidenced by the countless small and the handful of major projects underway. Shaw’s sidewalks bustle with store patrons, convention-goers, neighborhood residents, commuters, students, and diners. Numerous storefronts have been restored, and new stores, restaurants and bars abound.
