Small City Main Street’s Potential.

Character towns have small city and town main streets that leverage vision-driven assets for societal benefits. Think of your children’s children in a small city on main street in 2050. Why will they be there? What will they do? Will they have fun? Extending today’s trends, they will not be there,partly because there is nothing downtown or on main street they will find interesting. Believing they will be active, reasonably intelligent and socially engaging, much like kids in the early 21st century, mid-century kids will seek out entertainment, recreation and education where ever it may be found. Competitive sites for their interests will be as fierce as it is today. Small city downtowns have the potential to be places that will successfully compete for their interest.
