Modesto, California

===Downtown revitalization===
{{Unreferenced section|date=September 2019}}
As of the 2000s, downtown Modesto (DOMO) has new attractions including the Gallo Center for the Arts and the new Downtown Plaza adjacent to Modesto Centre Plaza. Downtown Modesto has lost the Hotel Covell, the [[art deco]] Strand Theatre, and the Sears building.

Historic 10th and 11th streets, which were the original locations of the cruising featured in ''American Graffiti'', have been designated by the City of Modesto as the Historic Cruise Route. This is now a tourist walk with information about Modesto's music, car and Graffiti culture.

In 2014, the Walk of Fame was launched on the Historic Cruise Route with markers celebrating classic legends like [[George Lucas]], [[Gene Winfield]], Bart Bartoni and others.

Classic Community Murals was launched by Modesto magazine ''ModestoView'' and the Peer Recovery Art Center to create a series of large scale murals celebrating the Modesto Classic Graffiti heritage. Many of these are on the Cruise Route.

New business incentives have been created to enhance facades, signage, and permitting.  A promenade is being designed to create a special entertainment zone along the corridor between the Modesto Centre Plaza and the Gallo Center for the Arts and the adjacent core streets of 10th, 11th and J streets.
