You know, whenever something big is announced about the City or Downtown, the Post and TV news sites always seem to have polls on their various websites asking folks who probably haven't been to the city or downtown in years whether or not they think downtown revitalization is real and if redevelopment would draw them downtown.

While I understand Downtown's regional role, I still find it funny that the media never asks questions like "Will a downtown Chesterfield draw you to Chesterfield" or "Is a mega-mall on Lindbergh sustainable" and things like that. You rarely hear the talking heads on Donnybrook debating whether or not a development in one of the burbs in which they live is something that is important or not.

It all seems like a case of "my shit doesn't stink, but yours does" syndrome.
