University Avenue, from the umbrella bus shelter to the School of the Arts, is loaded with all sorts of cool things to see! There's a bench with hands you can sit in, several art installations, a rainbow piano sidewalk, and the Memorial Art Gallery-- all within a couple blocks! My daughter hails it as her favorite walk we've ever taken.
