I'm Talking DOWNtown - So Sacramento mayor Heather Fargo is pushing a plan for a city hot spot, eh? I don't understand how the urban planners of Sacramento can be so shortsighted. Why do that think that a movie theater and new retail, *ANY* new retail, will revitalize downtown? Wouldn't a better strategy be to try to recruit unique, upscale stores and restaurants -- destinations -- that will draw people from around the region to downtown? If your revitalization plan is to open a movie theater without unique features showing the same crap as every other theather...or the same Applebees and Gap that suburbanites have near their homes... why would anyone be encouraged to treat the downtown like a hot spot?
