When night falls in the summer, movies and live music take place at the center, bringing neighbors and families together. A healthy retail corridor along 71st Street gives the area a cosmopolitan touch and the selection of down-home cooking available at the restaurants in South Shore is enough to satisfy any comfort food craving.
