Every city only has one "downtown". Los Angeles's only one is Downtown Los Angeles. How often do you see people calling Century City a "Downtown"?

Personally only one of them are a downtown haha, the others are just business districts, not the central business districts per say but I guess I know what the original poster meant when he made this thread. Even though the wording is really off on the thread title.

- Downtown Los Angeles
- Century City
- Hollywood
- Downtown Riverside
- Downtown Anaheim
- Downtown Irvine
- Central Burbank
- Westwood
- Downtown San Bernardino
- Segundo
- Wilshire
- Glendale
- Santa Monica

That's 13. Suburbs have their little central areas, but why do they count as "downtowns"? If they did places with hundreds of suburbs like Dallas/Fort Worth & Bay Area would win this thread topic. Los Angeles would have over 50 on its own if we counted the business districts in all of its suburbs.

Town Square Sugar Land for example is nothing like a traditional working area at all.

So you mean business districts in the metro? Should've said that.

Are you familiar with the term "boosterism"?

[Deeman804]

Yeah DC has a bunch and there are plenty on it's supporters on here. The list from the top of my head including suburbs (with true business districts) are

Downtown DC
SOuthwest
Crystal City/Pentagon/Pentagon City
Rosslyn
Ballston
Tysons Corner
Old town Alexandria
Silver Spring
Bethesda

The list can go on but these listed can all be placed in a medium-sized city and be a sufficient downtown.

[ThroatGuzzler]

[Mezter]

Atlanta
NYC
Miami
Houston
LA
Chicago
Midland,Tx
Honolulu..
