It's unfortunate this city hasn't created an actual well-planned, controllable, entertainment district. Perhaps that's something the new arena could do. 17th is pretty sparsely laid out.

The daycare centre used to be Coconut Joes, which was probably the most notorious of the bars on that strip. People either loved or hated Coconut Joes.
It always makes me laugh when I drive by there and see that little playground out front and think about how many children were conceived because their parents met grinding on the dance floor there (of course, it's been closed long enough that those kids probably have kids at that daycare).
