Downtown

Beautiful Historic Downtown Rapid City is home to many interesting businesses. There are specialty shops, restaurants, taverns and pubs, hair stylists, art and art galleries, and ethnic stores. With options for all your shopping and entertainment needs, the possibilities are endless.

The Downtown area lies in the center of Rapid City. While there are no actual boundaries, a number of natural geographic boundaries create an area of approximately 140 square mblocks. Major east/west streets are Omaha, Main, St. Joseph and Kansas City. North/south streets are West, Mt. Rushmore Road, 5th Street and East Boulevard.

We include the area known as the Gap in our definition of Downtown. The name Gap is derived from the fact that it is a gap between hills that links the west and east sides of the city. The Gap roughly begins at West Boulevard on the east and runs approximately 8 blocks to Cross Street on the west. Both Main Street and Omaha Street run through the Gap.

We hope you will take the time to stop and shop Downtown Rapid City. Before you do, please be sure to check out our member Downtown businesses that are listed below. And be sure to tell them you read about them on Black Hills NOW.
