I attended the Downtown Durham, Inc Annual Meeting last night. Always interesting. I've attended off and on for the past few years. The crowd has definitely gotten smaller over the years. I don't think this is a bad thing. DDI describes itself as a catalyst for downtown revitalization. Downtown Durham has now become home to world class office space, companies, and one of the largest private Porsche collections in the country. The growth and development of downtown Durham is going viral, which means there is less need for someone to constantly be pushing, proding, and stoking the fire of revitalization. At its own admission, DDI was not able to recognize all of the projects that happened downtown over the past year (and didn't seem to even know about a few of them). Downtown is now too big to be defined by one organization - a good thing, indeed.
