The word "downtown", evokes a sense of coziness, that warmth of history that hasn't been touched, a sense of place, but in today's society, downtown is about the nightlife and going out. Bars have taken over, where coffee shops, art, and history should be the focal point. I say coffee shops because within this social environment, you get the same feeling as "downtown"! Downtown Ft. Myers has been witnessing a sort of renaissance because it has the mixture of the two; the nightlife that exists, the historic presence is still captured with the old bricks and colums and the artsy side featuring a theater and coffee shops too!!! This type of renaissance relates to sustainability because it's progressing with the changes in our society on an economic scale yet still capturing the essence of the history!
