First Street in the River District is and is not a typical Fort Myers attraction. The city's downtown has a concentration of low-profile buildings erected in the early 1900s through the Florida building boom of the 1920s. Although it deteriorated slightly in the wake of suburban development, the River District is now in the midst of a full-on revival. The River District provides a nod to the history of the City of Palms with a vision for the future, offering what hip travelers and young Fort Myers want to experience on foot.
