Best View of Downtown from Inside Downtown 

John's Big Deck

A 40-foot cobbling of two-by-fours topped with patio-style furniture, John's Big Deck crowns a three-story bar in the center of downtown. Looking over the edge of the deck, city blocks roll outward in an evenly spaced grid. Buildings stand all around like tall rows of dominoes. The Commerce Bank sign lights the skyline to the east, and the Park University spire rises to the northwest. Above, stars blink amid lighted city signs. It feels like downtown is a happening place to be. Just don't look down.
