main streets
Town's central arteries
Main streets are the principal commercial thoroughfares of towns and cities, typically lined with shops, restaurants, and local businesses.
The singular Main Street often serves as an actual street name in American towns, and figuratively represents small-town America, local business interests, or ordinary citizens as opposed to Wall Street elites: a policy that helps Main Street, not just big banks.
