Is it just me or is it that I fell that most of what wilmington is doing with the "deadzones" is building small apartments/condos there. Don't get me wrong, I do think Wilmington does need to improve the living situations especially in downtown but I think they should also make retail/office too and save some apartment/condo buildings in the form of a skyscraper because there aren't any hotel/condo skyscrapers besides the residents at christina landing. Maybe they could build a downtown mall (like in Philly) and later on build a tower on top. Or what about a 15-20 story embassy with the outdoor glass elevators. (like Chicago). Again, I'm not saying Wilmington needs a skyscraper but I'm saying that fill some of the dead zones with a hotel/condo tower. It's still adding residents and filling dead zones but it's also is building up too (which its been a while since). And to me, it seems like Wilmington is trying to replicate a large city in a small city, and doing this would probably help Wilmington in both ways. But what do you guys think. I'm always interested in your opinions too even if you disagree.
