City with Two Downtowns? (districts, parks, live, better)

Lakewooder - I wanted to add Preston Center, but couldn't find any satisfactory pics.

If someone can find a better Second Skyline than the Galleria Houston please let me know. I don't think there is one outside of New York or Chicago.

Here's a pic from Wikipedia of Atlanta's Buckhead district:

Century City is bigger than most city's main CBD.

CBD's of LA Metro

Long Beach:




Century City


Century City and Wilshire Blvd


Not even 1/4 of Wilshire Blvd


DTLA and DTCC with Wilshire


LA Historic District


Glendale




Santa Monica




DT LA




There are several others that I can't find pics for.

That was a lesson in futility. The OP asked what CITY has two downtowns, not what METRO AREA has two downtowns. Bye-bye Long Beach, Glendale, and Santa Monica.

I could agree with that. There were many office buildings by LAX that could have formed a "second downtown".

And which leaves Century City which IS in Los Angeles, so bye-bye to the futility of trying to dismiss LA as a city with more than one skyline.

No problem man, gotta stand up for my soon to be fellow Southern Californians!!! Los Angeles is a great city, and deserves 100% to be stood up for! Also, just pointing out the facts lol Beautiful pics btw, can't wait to spend lots of time in the area! If you have any good pics of the San Diego area or any other part of SoCal for that matter, please let me know!

Yeah. Cool. I don't believe San Diego has two downtowns though. I do love DT SD though. Nice, new, lively, and dense.
