it would seem like Nicholson/River Road along the river going north to downtown could try to improve itself.

If memory serves, that was Kip's goal. He worked to make downtown a worthwhile place for the college students to go and then wanted to create an economic corridor along Nicholson which would connect the two.

Someone else mentioned the street car money SWB turned down, that was to be part of his vision as well (I think).
