Over the past three years Canyon has been seeing a revitalization in their historic downtown and in the entire community from the optimism of new businesses and incoming people. Mickey’s Place, a new addition to the Shops on Fifth Avenue, is a modern twist on traditional Italian cuisine.

The new addition to Canyon is in the previous location of “Barrel and Pie”, a previous favorite of residents and West Texas A&M University students alike. The Shops on Fifth Avenue is a relatively new addition to Canyon with it being across the street from the old Randall County Courthouse and sandwiched between the Texas Outdoor Musical Theater office and The Cake Company of Canyon.
