Well there’s a first time for everything

Downtown seems to be centered on the Main Street from the sforza castle to the duomo

Harbor East in the Background, Canton in the foreground. Like how this pic shows Baltimore's love for the rooftop deck.

What in that photo do you think is “downtown”? The district with a few modern glass highrises?

This would be a fundamental misunderstanding of how Europeans cities are built and organised.

Do think think of La Defense as “downtown Paris” too?
