Central Silent Hill is the main business district of the town of Silent Hill, and is located just east of Old Silent Hill (on the other side the river that separates the two districts), and north of the Resort Area. Made primarily for the use of tourists, Central Silent Hill also acts as the economic center for the whole town of Silent Hill and the entire region around it. Many small shops and stores, offices, various public services (including some banks, a general hospital, the post office and the Silent Hill Police Station), a big shopping mall and many famous but notable touristic destinations such as the Artaud Theater, restaurants, motels, some parks and also some hotels, including the famous Grand Hotel are found here. In its heyday, this area would have seen a lot of families on vacation and business people on trips, giving the town a big boost to its economy.
