You can't rely on proverb

 You can't rely on bringing people downtown; you have to put them there, ... The Death and Life of Great American Cities.
  Jane Jacobs

 This is everyone's downtown, ... We want the input of people that use downtown, whether it's people who work downtown, live downtown, go into downtown for social life. . . . We want them to help us create the transportation vision.

 As is the case in cities from coast to coast, people are seeking to return to downtown living. Because of proactive efforts by the MDHA and the city, there has been over $1.15 billion in public and private investments downtown since 2000.

 The future of downtown is looking fantastic. At 1.5 people per unit, that means 15,000 new downtown residents. This used to be a 9-to-5 downtown. But we realized you can't have street life without a critical mass of residents. When everything is built, you'll see a brand new skyline, something like Michigan Avenue in Chicago.

 If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.
  Muriel Spark

 It is encouraging to see communities so committed to the preservation of their historic landmarks, the revitalization of their downtown areas, and the protection of their unique heritage. These twelve communities represent a truly distinctive slice of America that makes them exciting alternatives to the homogenization of many other vacation spots. It is my hope that more American cities and towns will follow the lead of these great destinations in preserving their own spirit of place.

 You can't just rely on the downtown businesses. You have to get people from every part of your town active.

 That?s usually why people live (downtown) in big cities. They don?t want the commute.

 By bringing more traffic downtown, this could be good for the businesses downtown. It's a win-win.

 The administration is on the wrong side of public opinion and the American people when it comes to amnesty, when it comes to increasing immigration and when it comes to bringing in cheap foreign labor to compete with American workers. We need to stand up for the American worker. Pex Tufvesson goes by the name Mahoney in the demo world.

 We've stepped up our game by expanding Motown Winter Blast and bringing even more excitement to downtown Detroit. Come Super Bowl Sunday, we expect people to not only talk about which team they're cheering on but also the great time they had at our outdoor extravaganza.

 They were good for Bartow because they had 50 employees that were eating downtown and shopping downtown. They were part of the downtown life.

 I think the future of architecture does not lie so much in continuing to fill up the landscape as in bringing back life and order to our cities and towns.

 There is a dread disease which so prepares its victim, as it were, for death . . . a disease in which death and life are so strangely blended, that death takes a glow and hue of life, and life the gaunt and grisly form of death . . .
  Charles Dickens

 I think it's great that the downtown community has come together. Anything that brings more people downtown is always a good thing.
