That short stretch of Main Street survived by accident. 60 years ago every Michigan town had a street like that. Battle Creek had Michigan Avenue, density, trolleys, city center orientation, all gone. Even Ann Arbor has been gutted from what it once was. And sprawl is on the way. Most of those folks drive in from sprawlville to get a small peak at urbanity in Ann Arbor. -J class of 2001

Loved the video, very interesting. I'm a radio/TV/film major, but I've always had an interest in urban planning. This is the perfect combination!

A great place as heaven for pedestrians for good. How did they managed the transportation system since it's only few vehicles down there?

Thank you for the kind comments, everyone--it's great to hear from such a diversity of people. Watch for the next film coming out in about a month!

Liked the video very much. Many small cities could learn from this. In-fill vacant lots with interesting, pedestrian scaled bldgs. that have the features mentioned in the piece. Nothing ruins the flow of a downtown more than surface parking lots, vacant lots and gas stations. Downtowns also need housing for the middle income people.

I'm a planning student from Chicago and have a particular interest in community development (especially downtown revitalization)-- needless to say -- I loved the video!
