Where North Beach is lost to tourism and Union Street is relatively protected from it, Polk is actively pursuing the tourist trade. With a mix of stores ranging from music instruction to hardware to thrift shops to green interior design, Polk can accommodate a similar wide range of tastes. Saturday nights, the streets are full of scantily clad club girls and boys and Sunday mornings are crawling with hung over hipsters going from coffee shop to diner and back home, never without the ubiquitous dark sunglasses.
