常州南大街:
南大街,北起延陵西路,南至弋桥,全长505米。唐代,常州商贸市场已出具雏形,城区已有市肆店铺。宋代,商业日趋繁盛,后北岸一带(小营前、文化宫一带)布满商店或作坊,是当时的闹市区。明永乐年间(1430-1424),常州已成为全国33个较大的商业、手工业发达商埠之一。民国初期,常州近代工业兴起,促进了商贸的更加繁荣,产生了粮食、木行、绸缎呢绒、百货五洋、化工油漆、中药、西药、南北货、酱油茶食、酒菜饭馆、旅馆客栈、理发等40多个行业、300多家商铺。民国中期,当时的零售商铺主要集中在南大街、县巷一带,尤其大中型百货商店,从南大街到西瀛里口,几乎是鳞次栉比。
民国时期,南大街为3~4米的条石路,1937年拓宽为9米。同年日本侵略军轰炸常州,南大街房屋被毁。日伪军出于军运需要,将路面拓宽到14米,并修建了60厘米见方的下水道。1947年又改铺弹石路。1952年人行道浇筑混凝土路面。------1989年加铺6厘米黑色沥青路面。
南大街曾经拥有的“老字号”,1622年浙江人童浩山创办的童宁元药店与老丰裕、东丰裕、存仁社为常州四大名药店。1921年开设的明星理发店,1938年开张的正章洗染店,直到1949年,南大街上还有德和衣庄、仁和绸布店、义大绸布店、南洋百货店、张煜记百货店、日新百货店,以及各色皮鞋、鞋帽、日用杂货、镜箱、脂粉店,还有时代、瑞和泰食品店、凯旋电影院、大观园书场等。店连店,铺接铺,一派繁华热闹景象。
2001年起,百年老街进行大规模改造。2005年1月,投资过10亿元打造的南大街商业步行街竣工开街。
现今南大街商业步行街为:公园路---南大街---青果巷---延陵西路四条道路所包揽。东西宽120米,南北长600米。整个地块由一条'S'型步行街将3个地块串联起来。步行街共设置了30台自动扶梯,35台垂直电梯。一二层为精品店铺,三层为风情美食街,地下一层为大型超市。地下停车场可停放600辆机动车。南大街商业步行街集休闲、购物、餐饮、旅游、办公、娱乐等多功能于一体。
