A good downtown, whether it anchors a big city or a small town, acts a little like an addiction.
Go once and you can't resist going back for more.
In our search for the best downtowns, we considered the mix of entertainment options they had to offer, the planning that went into their design, and the beautiful architecture and green spaces that inspire interaction.
Lead off the list with Indianapolis, what a way to flush credibility down the toilet. The whole list is worth a chuckle, perhaps San Antonio deserves to be there but the rest of the list = garbage.
Out of this list, I've only been to Savannah so I can't say if this light is right or wrong, but I would believe it to be wrong. Before clicking on this, I was expecting to see NYC, Philly, SF, Chicago, Seattle, and other big cities. I'm sure they have pretty good downtowns but just not the top 10. Wasn't expecting that.
Downtown Indianapolis is a great location, it's vibrant, walkable, plenty of greenspace and everything from restaurants to grocery and hardware store are within walking distance. There's a reason when cities talk about urban renewal in the central core, Indy is one of the first cities they mention. It's successful, laid out and planned.
