YUM! It looks like Downtown JC has lunch covered. 😋 Did you know several food trucks call our downtown home? From Central American cuisine at El Pericazo Taqueria, to European street food from FILOS FOODS, to a slice (or two 👀) from By Yurii's Pizza, there’s plenty to grab when you’re hungry downtown!

Come hungry. Eat local. Stay awhile. 💙🩷🧡

Our first façade grant project of the year is officially complete!

Our Design Committee has been hard at work rolling out these grants, and there are plenty more transformations to come. Keep an eye out for more before-and-afters!

Cleaning historic limestone is a delicate process that requires a soft-washing technique to safely remove years of dirt, grime, and organic growth without damaging the stone. Golden’s Washing is the best!

Preserving the character of downtown, one façade at a time!

We are OBSESSED with the new River Alley sign! Funded by the T-Mobile Hometown Grant, this activated pedestrian alleyway sits between Polished Nail Salon and Pender Law on W. 7th Street. Affectionately known as the “river that never runs dry,” it’s our own little slice of paradise in the heart of Downtown JC. 💙🩷🧡

Have you visited the River Alley yet? Have pics? Drop them in the comments , we’d LOVE to see them! 📸

Happy National Selfie Day from Downtown Junction City! Tonight, local business owners and community leaders are gathering at Blu Restaurant and Bar with Jon Schallert, the mind behind Destination Business BootCamp!

This spring, our Junction City cohort attended his nationally recognized BootCamp in Denver thanks to a grant from Network Kansas, learning how to transform local businesses into destinations people will travel to experience.

Now, Jon is in Junction City to visit participating businesses, see their progress, and help keep the momentum going!

A pretty perfect reason for a Downtown JC selfie. 💙🩷🧡 Here’s to making Junction City a destination worth the trip!
