About the center
The Garland Business District is located within the North Hill neighborhood. Garland has retained much of the neighborhood appeal from the past, with narrow streets, slow-moving traffic, and stores crammed in every nook and corner. Best of all, it's a pretty active place that sports two theatres, a unique collection of retail stores, restaurants, and an art gallery. This area has served the neighborhood for over 70 years, with a wonderful movie theater known as the Garland Theatre which opened in 1945 and that has all the neon of the 50s and has been recently refurbished. On another corner is the Milk Bottle restaurant and ice cream parlor, built in the shape of its name.
