You will find a lot here, a traditional downtown in a small town American city. It has been preserved and it thrives and is somewhat modernized. Lots of shops and restaurants and cafes arranged along a couple of main streets. Parking In lots and in metered pots. Walk around and explore it.

Charming old fashioned and almost frozen in time. Yet with some modern stores and restaurants. A very pedestrian-friendly place to shop and eat, and it is very safe. You can park on the outer edge, or just pay for a parking meter.

This pleasant old fashioned downtown is full of great restaurants and cafes, all casual. Plus some good shopping. You can park on the street at a metered space. Good eating.

We went to Alameda and enjoyed seeing the military plane statues. It is also where the Hornet is. The downtown area has a variety of stores and cafes.

We went to downtown area of Alameda. This is a nice area to walk. It has a local feel. There are cafes and stores. Albeit it was a tad different due to the virus.
