Agree 100%
I'm obviously a big Moncton booster, but Moncton does have a hollowed out core and it shows.....
If the two hospitals, the two universities and some important government services (like DFO) were in the core, it would give the city an entirely different feel.
I can literally go for months without going downtown in Moncton. That's not necessarily a good thing.....
Hopefully the proposed downtown arena/events centre will change things. There are also several condo propjects in development and a proposed six storey office building at the corner of Assomption/Vaughn Harvey is in the works.
