Flagstaff Historic Downtown, Flagstaff

Every year we drive to Flagstaff to ski and everything about it and the Snowbowl are perfect execpt for the drive and the nightlife. There is not much to do at night, but to mainly walk around downtown, eat dinner or stay in your room at the hotel to watch the tv. The drive here someone always is not carefull and they crash so it could take hours to get here depending on where you live. But besides that stuff which you can't really change Flagstaff is a great place to be, especially in the winter when it snows and the Snowbowl is open.

We frequent Flagstaff often and I can say down town is wonderful! Lots of cute shops and coffee houses.

As a native of Flagstaff, I am very disappointed that the Nativity Catholic Church (Beaver St./Cherry St.) was not featured in the "historic" pictures of Flagstaff. The church was built in the 1920's and is an exact replica of a church in France. The architecture includes stunning stained glass windows and it has been designated a National Historic Landmark building. Nativity School (across the street) is where I went to grade school, taught by the Sisters of Loretto. Someone really missed the boat on this one!!!! Pioneer families including the Dolans and Babbitts were instramental in the design, funding and building of this stunning Flagstaff landmark and the original grade school (St. Anthony's) across the street.

Great place to visit. Fun atmosphere. Lots to see. Word of warning, though, if you are hungry, sit down right away at your food establishment of choice. From the time the food is ordered, to the time it hits your table, takes a bit of time. We were famished!! Must go along with that laid back attitude of Downtown Flagstaff. We can't wait to go back again. Its a beautiful city to visit.

Well, I live here in Flagstaff and downtown is my first place to go when we are ready for some nightlife, a meal or a nice walk. Great local restaraunts, coffee shops, shops and bars. Also the buildings retain much of their historic feel. Very walkable. Keep going through the adjoining neighborhoods to see very cute old houses.

Some of the shops there sell indian pottery, blackets, and other realated items but the price is allittle higher than if you went to some of the nearby indian settlements.

Downtown Flagstaff is a nice place to be...there are several local breweries (Mogollan, Flag Brew and Beaver Street Brewery) within walking; cool little shops and restaurants; very nice views of the San Francisco Peaks and all the Ponderosa Pines. Warning to you...the train she keeps-a-coming, but it adds to the ambiance. Look for cowboys, indians, old hippies and few college students (since this is the residential college town of Arizona--NAU). Enjoy!
