great news here:

nice to hear of a downtown business in the creative field with double digit growth, commitment to downtown AND the rave reviews of the downtown renewal department.
most of all, notice the difference in the attitudes of the banks compared with a few years ago....I'm hearing this a lot more downtown now.
Heck, the guy who owns Irvings Famous Clothing on James North just had to hire a new employee...he told downtown renewal that it was the first time in over a decade that he's experienced increased business like this.
