It would be silly to turn the train station into an "attraction" without it being a functioning station. I worry that downtown Phoenix is focusing too much on tourist-type attractions that will draw locals only once to see them. How about making the attraction a real functioning downtown?

I do like the idea of integrating the capitol more into downtown. It needs to be part of downtown, not adjacent to it. The article does raise the valid point, however, that with the state's small-government (small everything, really) mentality, about the last thing that would ever be done on a grand scale would be government buildings.
