This is very true, I think once you see Colony Square redevelop, things will change. On a sidenote, Midtown has seen at least three restaurants either open or opening in these three weeks. Alta has two in there and then the Canteen, GT's Krog, these are things that Midtown has desperately needed and are a start to make it even more public social, that will develop a vibe.
Wherever lights go, it needs to not just be more ads, nobody cares for that, do something artistic. People like that and that draws crowds.
Something similar in mindset to the Singapore trees would be a smart move.
