Oldtanker, we have the exact same thing going on here. Whine and cry because the downtown is dying (dead really) but refuse to do anything meaningful to change it. They even pooled money to hire a consultant, who couldnt think themselves out of a wet paper sack. They do several promotions during the year, christmas carols with hot chocolate and cookies and all that kind of thing but they never put 2 and 2 together, the reason they have raving turnout during those events is because its fun planned a couple times a year and because its in the evening. I swear, they never add it up: "Hey, look there is John, we never see you." So John says, "Ya, I work durning the day, its nice that you are open tonight". "Hey, Bill, thanks for stopping in!" "No problem, I got off work at 6 and thought I would stop on my way home". It goes on and on all evening long like that. They just dont get it though. Eventually, I just gave up on caring about the downtown, they have all the tools and information needed to do what is needed. We cant turn back the clock to 1950 again but the downtown could be viable enough to not die, to keep a decient holding to stay there and provide a good income to the business owners and even send kids to college. We would still get big box stores on the edge of town but the downtown could still be alive and well. The problem is, the business owners are making a choice not to do what needs to be done. When that became clear to me, I gave up caring.
