5. Downtown

Yeah, there are some around the Cumberland Mall area as well (WorldSpan has their headquarters building there, and my own employer (SITA) also has a large data center in the area).

I'm sure the state and city incentives to move your office here didn't hurt either.

It's just now that Northern cities are trying to get businesses to head back up North.
