The caller who called in about downtown being dead must be talking about downtown Washington, D.C. I frequent downtown Washington quite a bit, and I find it to be a thriving place. Many times, I can’t even get a parking place downtown. I think we have a wonderful downtown, a busy, hustling downtown. Maybe that person needs to look elsewhere.
