114 E Kirkwood AveBloomington is home to quite a few promenades that offer a robust variety of shops, eateries, recreational activities, and other venues to enjoy while strolling through B-Town — The Square and Kirkwood Avenue are two local-favorites, as is the B-Line Trail. While The Square and Kirkwood are downtown's most popular areas, the B-Line is a little more of a hidden gem, especially when it comes to the local businesses and venues scattered along the 3.1-mile trail. Next time you're in town, take a walk down the urban trail and discover all it has to offer.
