I lived in San Diego when the downtown was a bad location. That Economic development committee really did their homework and created an environment that people want to be in, granted we don't have an ocean. However San Antoio Texas did it without a beach, they have the river walk that brings poeple in from all over the country and generates tax dollars, and booming businesses. Find an idea that people want to be a part of, think out loud folks.

No room for negativity, this is awesome. I have been a member of the 24 hour finess gym for a long time and have had the benfit to use the downtown gym, and many others across the country when I travel for work. Keep the fitness dream alive 24 hour.
