Unfortunately, downtown has always been considered the face of the community and thus, it has suffered from a brunt of poorly planned and implemented urban renewal strategies.

Thank you...and there are countless other cities/towns around the South with excellent, intact historic districts and buildings. New Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis, Nashville, Winston-Salem, Asheville, Birmingham, Louisville, Richmond, Wilmington, Chattanooga, Mobile, Houston, Dallas, etc, etc, etc. This is not including the beautiful small towns like Beaufort NC, Hillsborough NC, Abbeville SC, Cheraw SC, Williamsburg VA, Charlottesville VA, Natchez MS, Rome GA, and a plethora of others. It's silly to act like these places don't exist.
