Truth is we were trying to find a parking space for Babes Chicken and stumbled upon the quaint downtown square. We enjoyed the leisurely stroll around the square and did some unplanned shopping after lunch in a Main Street antique store. Very inviting and safe vibe around the square & amazingly quiet given the proximity to the interstate.

The main area of Carrolton wasn't expecially big but it's a nice stop. There are good restaurants, a beer garden and a nice public square.

Lots of options to explore while walking around. Our favorites are Babes and Twisted Root - Beth Marie's ice cream is also a good one. Tons of shops and they often do a movie night or other activities on the square.

Parked in front of one of the stores in the Historic Downtown area. Saw a man laid out on one of the nice benches they have all around the square. Smelly man had his stuffed suitcase laid out on sidewalk in a way to take up as much sidewalk space as possible as he took a nap. We walked into store looked around and then mentioned to clerk if she knew there was a man sleeping on the bench in front of store. At first she behaved as if she did not know. As we continued to chat she admitted that he is there all the time and that he had some mental issues. She said sometimes he gets off his meds because he does not like how meds make him feel and he gets into arguments. She felt sorry for him and I do too, but this is not the place for him. Told her we would not be taking a risk again. Not coming back to shop and eat there. As we drove away, we saw five more homeless that appeared to be coming from the train on way towards the square. Had we stayed around we would have been outnumbered by homeless and their carts, suitcases full of junk in the square. Soon enough people will completely stop coming to shop/eat.
Just read news about homeless man in NYC that severely beat a woman with his belt.

Downtown Carrollton is a fun place to spend an afternoon of shopping and eating. I've lived in the area for over 20 years and I always enjoy the antique store, the quilt shop, the candy store, and buying a new outfit and the boutique, on the corner. The jeweler does a great job on repairs and is honest and reasonable. There is a wide variety of food choices. I love Twisted root and the Old Rainbow soda shop as well as Babes or Agave Azul. For a romantic ending to the day, go to the upstairs Italian restaurant.

We visited old downtown Carrollton this weekend and it is an amazing place....old time candy store, antique shops, entertainment, and every kind of cuisine you could possibly ask for. The people are friendly and the atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. I highly recomend this for a family afternoon or evening out!

Very quaint and friendly. Nice shops and restaurants. Babes Restaurant is a must. The old town square is a nice place to walk. It has a gazebo in the middle of the square.

Need some more fun boutiques around the square. We had a beautiful day to walk around. A few interesting shops - but couldn't believe how many were closed on a Friday afternoon.
