Downtown Fort Myers Field Trip:
During our Downtown Fort Myers field trip I was in the Media group. We got to go to local restaurants and bars and speak to the people that work there. We found that they were happy with how the media portrays Downtown and that their business is steady even with the condition our economy is in. While walking around however you notice many empty and vacant buildings and stores. It makes you feel overall that the place is maybe not the “best area” or even “safe” when you see buildings like that, that still need a little clean up and construction. Overall there is a steady theme throughout of keeper Downtown as historical as possible. From the quaint buildings, shops, and restaurants to the hand laid paver bricks on the streets you feel as though history is preserved there and I can only imagine what will come of Downtown when and if the economy begins to boom again.
