Draper to me is a very lively area with lots of traffic and stores. For this project I went to an area of Draper that for some reason is very dead. There is never any traffic or many people going to the few shops in this area. I went to the Bubble N Bean cafe in this area and walked around for a little bit. The first thing that I noticed is that all the buildings are older looking and there are many that look and are abandoned. It is also overgrown in areas and rundown. There is only one cafe, Bubble N Bean, one restaurant, and then there are places that people would either go to daily or semi frequently for just one purpose, such as a barber, but are very run down. This dead area of Draper is being filled with new buildings very often, such as modern housing and more stores. But there is an obvious lack of effort being put into restoration.

I found this area to be a bad mix of old and new. The attempt to combine the two is there but with the lack of business these other places seem to have there isn't a chance more stores will take those abandoned buildings. I think that brining a well known chain store could bring this area much needed customers to at least get people down the street. This area is being left alone to continue to look more and more rundown as the effort to make this area appealing to people is not being made because of the lack of business.

Bubble N Bean

The only cafe in the area I walked around. It is a bit hidden and far down the street, not in a very good area for business. Only the drive thru is open.

View down the street

It is older looking and I don't think many people would think to go down this street for a cafe or restaurant. The sidewalks are also not the best in this area and there are quite a few buildings that are so run down they don't look open.

It almost looks too calm and gives off the impression there are just houses further down the road.

Some of the newer townhomes in this area. They look nice but did some research and not even these "luxury" townhomes can lure people to the area as they are not run well.

This is the one restaurant that is very cute (right). It is next to a mostly abandoned building (left) so if not for the huge open sign on the restaurants door I would assume it went out of business. The run down buildings that were abandoned or half empty did give the street I was walking a ghost town like feel. Especially with the lack of traffic.

The 4-way stop to turn onto the street. This is the only area with cars going through regularly.
