The "Downtown" District - the Island
The island in Riverview has become the "Downtown" district. This is an area of vintage buildings and homes, some of which have been converted to businesses as they do in older areas of many cities.
This area is loosely based on the Riverview area where I grew up. Those homes are still standing to this day and many are over 100 years old. The house I grew up in certainly would be.
