Downtown Warren is being literally rebuilt and restored at the
same time, thanks to a huge project called Impact Warren
which has created Warren's first skyline. Plans call for
removal of unsightly telephone poles, restoration of building
facades, and a new Arts Center (photo below) across the
street from the flatiron building pictured at right. New
businesses include a thoroughly enchanting bookstore, The
Allegheny Book Mart, which features Warren memorabilia,
and a top of the line coffee shop, The Fresh CUP, with live
folk music every Wednesday night a few doors down from the
arts center.
An arts activity center is currently under construction around the corner on Liberty Street. The Arts Center at right is always open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays with exhibits and occasionally snags an interesting one like this.

Visit an authentic old time
drugstore here, with all the
latest products, or get all
natural cures at a genuine
herbal apothecary. For lunch,
try to find a seat at the
busiest diner in town, The
Plaza. Everybody eats here.
Most summer weekends
there is a live free music
concert across the street at
the Music Park.
Monthly poetry readings feature local professional writers at the Warren Arts Center. More info
