It is ironic that the reporter interviews Ted Wilson and Wilson remembers the great downtown we had. Wilson was singularly most responsible for its decline. He took out all the street parking and his sidewalk expansion, which was not needed, went on for years, driving out all the businesses.

I don't personally think so, but I know people who consider the area in SugarHouse I live in (near 1900 South and 1000E) to be downtown.
