Crown Center

‘Tis impossible to mention Crown Center without alluding to the famous Hall family and its namesake retail store and massive Hallmark Cards Corporation. When Donald Hall acquired the company reigns in the 1960s, he directed an overhaul of the area. These days, Crown Center is a fun-stuffs destination, housing anything from an ice-skating terrace to LEGOLAND.
