Locals have long loved spending time on Main Street in Grapevine. Now, the stretch of shops and restaurants is getting national attention.
Historic Main Street is officially up for "USA Today's" 10 Best Main Streets, an honor recognizing the top Main Street stretches of cities and towns for their uniqueness, quaintness and popularity.
Twenty Main Streets throughout the country are up for the award, each picked by an expert panel, according to USA Today's 10 Best section. Voting is open until noon until April 7; the winner will be announced April 16.
"Main streets across the United States are experiencing a renaissance," the site reads. "Once abandoned and boarded up as people shifted to the suburbs, these iconic thoroughfares are now thriving... These streets are living history, have a vibrant culture and serve as the hearts of their communities."
The panel specifically mentioned the plethora of dinning and boutique options on Grapevine's Main Street, while adding that residents can conveniently get to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport via the nearby TEXRail train station.
"The stretch of Main Street between Dallas Road and State Highway 114 in Grapevine, Texas, has dozens of galleries, boutiques, and dining options," the site reads. "It's only a 15-minute ride from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport via TEXRail to the Grapevine-Main Street station. Be sure to check out the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, Palace Arts Center and the Grapevine Glockenspiel Clock Tower."
