Yes the John Hancock building is on 875 N. Michigan Ave so it's on the northern edge of downtown. Division is 1000 north and Clark is a bit west of Michigan so Im not seeing your point....
So where does Downtown end and the Near North Side begin? I consider everything within the boundaries of Lake Michigan to Division to 94 to Cermak as being Downtown.

The valley is less than 2 million. And no, Oakland's downtown doesn't surpass it at all. The streets there are vacated. I remember my friend pointing out where that Tribune reporter got shot on the street. Great tour.
San Jose is a nice place but let's be honest a vibrant downtown is not one of it's strong points. I am in downtown SJ everday and its a ghosttown for a city its size.
Well, if you don't cut off all of his quote it would be clearer. It's just downtown. For now, it is a business/government center for the most part. Akin to Wall St. in NYC. The other parts of the city are thumping all the time.
YES! I love it when people back up my claims that atlanta thinks it's new york! This is HILARIOUS. I lived in ATL for 4 years. Its more of an overgrown suburb than a city, the pictues back a few pages of the "vibrant downtown scene" showing people waddling into banana republic and "cheesecake bistro"??? I get depressed just looking at that atrocity of culture. I am so grateful that's not my friday night.

Yet some people would much rather have that. I would.
If given the choice between Atlanta and NYC, I would choose Atlanta without even needing to think.

Duh, those weren't photos of Downtown...before you start criticizing it's a good idea to actually READ a little bit - those were photos of Atlantic Station. There are 30,000 residents of Downtown Atlanta...the overgrown suburb.
We miss you so much in Atlanta...you and your attitude.
Downtown Dallas wasn't dead back then! Dallas had 3 department stores Neiman-Marcus,Titche-Goettinger the biggest department store in Dallas 500,000-square-feet (now closed bought out by Joske's then Dillard's),Sanger Brothers and A. Harris and Co. merged to become Sanger-Harris (now closed bought out by Foley's then Macy's)
Titche-Goettinger 1960s
Titche-Goettinger now houses lofts and the Universities Center at Dallas
Out of all the towns I have been to, I got to go with Phoenix or Orlando. (BTW, all towns die to some degree after business hours, even NYC, Chicago etc). Ever been to lower Manhattan after six pm?

I did no such thing. I compared the financial and government (both state and federal) to the financial district in New York City in relation to how both areas, because of what type of business they hold, will be bustling during the day but dead at night. But of course, like always, if someone compares something in New York City to something in Atlanta, that means we're trying to say Atlanta is "just like new york"
