there are plans for more small skyscrapers, like the size of the current tall buildings downtown. I think the executive airport prevents downtown Orlando from building taller buildings.

Thanks. They need to move it IMO that way Orlando can get some really tall sky scrapers. I would love to see a few 60 plus story sky scrapers there.

Also, I was wondering if the closure of Pleasure Island has helped downtown. I know when I was on the College Program downtown clubs and night life was hurting.

I don't think Executive has anything to do with it, as the majority of the flights take off to the east over Lake Barton and come in fromt the west over lake Como to land.

Nightlife in downtown Orlando has picked up these last few years, downtown in general has improved these last few years.
