Do you mean that area or that era?
It looked a bit messier in that era but the downtown was the center of all things and there were few ugly new buildings, only ugly old ones. I think it looks better now than before there was any development; the tallest building in the west end was the post office. While the downtown still looked like it did pre 1970's, all new development was concentrated in the newer areas of the city, nobody wanted to invest in anything new downtown back then.
