Main Street is just a few blocks to the west, and the huge shopping center Country Club Plaza is right across Bush Creek, with its specialty shops, popular restaurants, and movie theater. The creek itself is lined with trails and large public parks, creating a popular greenbelt perfect for bike rides, running, or long walks.
