Part 3/9:
The key to Easton's revitalization lies in its ability to leverage its unique strengths. Unlike many towns that suffered from the drastic urban renewal projects of the mid-20th century, Easton’s urban core remained largely intact, preserving its classical architecture and historical character. As a result, a walk through Easton's streets feels like stepping back in time, with beautiful homes, townhouses, and commercial buildings still standing amidst its historic grid layout. The absence of sprawling highways or big box stores further adds to its charm, allowing local corner shops to thrive and contributing to a dense, urban quality that belies its small-town status.
