If your mental map of Pendleton still puts Braxton on 13th and Nation on Broadway, the map is out of date. Both anchors are gone, both buildings have new tenants or new owners, and the neighborhood's four-block core has quietly rearranged itself around two intersections that now carry almost the entire evening.
This is a post for people who already live here. You know where Urbana is. You know Lucius Q. What has changed since last summer is the density of what sits within a five-minute walk of your front door, and the fact that one of the neighborhood's oldest anchors is spending its final summer on Sycamore.
The two corners doing most of the work
Broadway at 12th is the corner to know.
