I recently commented on Pierluigi Oliverio’s awesome “City Hall Diary” post regarding a recent City Hall brainstorming session on ideas to help Downtown during the recession.
While his idea of bringing a cardroom back to Downtown had some merit, I felt there could be better ways of bringing in money without taking it away from those who probably need it most. So along with some other suggestions, I came up with I thought of starting a SanJoseCityLiving.com Night Out!
The goal here is to choose a night for all the locals to head out to a chosen spot for a some awesome grub and a good night out on the town. Consider it a way to drive more business to local venues, potentially invigorate fading hot spots, and to help stimulate the local economy all while having a great time with other local residents of Downtown.
So what do you think? Does a weekly night out on the town with everyone else that enjoys a good time sound like a good way to have fun and help Downtown during this recession? I know I do.
Vote on your opinion in this poll and comment to tell us what you think about the idea.
