      <![CDATA[As a native it also seems to be about what was torn down in the 60's and 70's such as the Burns Opera House and the ridiculous idea in the past few years of turning The City Auditorium into "lofts" instead of preserving it. I certainly want to see a vital downtown, but the Tejon Street bar scene is getting out of hand and driving normal businesses elsewhere.

      <![CDATA[To John:<br>
<br>
I think an interesting graphic would be that which you've described...<br>
<br>
"Imagine how the city center would look if the regional headquarter buildings on the Interstate 25 corridor north of town had been built downtown; or, if the Colorado Springs World Arena and Sky Sox Stadium were downtown, instead of the south edge or halfway to Kansas."<br>
<br>
I think citizens would be shocked to see what it would look like. I might just make that a homework assignment (fun with Photoshop).<br>
<br>
I also had to chuckle at the bit about Palmer.

      <![CDATA[Wow you nailed it John, I agree with everything you said 100%! I grew up in Greenville S.C. and you are right, the slum of a downtown that city used to have has been completely erased with a vibrant and attractive city center.
