It includes Lincoln University, several bank headquarters, a variety of restaurants, shops, and theaters. The historic Fox Theater and the art deco Paramount Theatre both offer live performances. Sports fans head to the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum to cheer on the NFL's Oakland Raiders and to the Oracle Arena to cheer the NBA's Golden State Warriors.

Oakland's "main street" is Broadway, which extends from 8th Street to 17th Street. The neighborhood's history dates back to the 1850s, and the downtown area is home to some of the nation's finest Art Deco architecture. Some places to visit include the Pardee Home (built in1868), the Rotunda Building, and the African American Museum and Library.
