not so sure about that..other than Books a million..nothing is worth to go...what they need is big chain retail. no more restaurants..too many of them in DT. just look what happened to Bayou PLace.

this is not a park it is a parking lot with grass and two puddles.

I meant they're not the typical downtown dwellers you see in NY or San Fran.

If you get cheap housing in downtown, then it'll thrive. Those people tend to shop downtown. the rich folks likes to live in downtown but shops somewhere else. just go to NY or San Fran. you see a large diversity of people mostly low income grocery shopping in outside vendors. That market place they set up there on the northeast side, what type of folks you think shops there. and notice the lack of crowds.

HEEEERRRRE'S JOHNNY!

could be converted to a college.

it's a downtown borders books store.. just kidding.

What they should do is have "AFFORDABLE" residential living around Downtown. Compared to SF, NY, Chicago...etc.. you want a diverse status group residing in Downtown. That makes a city. Most people who can afford the high rises, homes in downtown, would rather drive to Galleria to spend their money.
