When asked about the area surrounding Commerical Street, the locals always seemed to talk about their memories of the good ol' days of old Bangalore--the Bangalore before the high rises, malls and multiplexes. Cluttered streets with vendors selling everything from high-end name brands to local wares, this area overloads the senses with its sheer amount of, well, everything. It seems to be as popular with the locals as it is with the tourists, which is always a good sign if you are planning to visit. Well-worth spending some time walking around, great people watching, and some interesting wares to bring home.
