The historic downtown area of Alhambra has a long and interesting history. It has long been the center of commerce for the city, and even though it has undergone a lot of change in the past several decades, it still maintains a historic feel. Recent renovations have lent way to many new restaurants and businesses opening in the area, bringing in more business and stimulating the local economy here in Alhambra.

Alhambra is known for a famous local theatre, where a young Judy Garland once performed. The Garfield Theatre was a thriving cultural center with musical and theatrical performances from the 1920s up until the early 2000s. Sadly, in its last few years, the Garfield Theatre struggled to keep its doors open, and ended up closing down. Since then, it has gone under renovation, and many concerned citizens participated in the remodel; the building has now been turned into a historical attraction with a modern twist. Now open, this building is a commercial center once again, and is home to several stores and restaurants.

Alhambra is home to a very large Asian American demographic, and as a result, many local shops and restaurants feature Asian cuisine and culture.
