Posted By RichTig on 08/04/2008 7:22 AM The mayor/council need to understand that our downtown is not Old Town Scottsdale and never will be. We need to build fresh new buildings that will become historic, not old looking buildings for the sake of looking historic.
Exactly. in a city with a long history I can understand a downtown area that holds on to that history. But forcing historic looking buildings is displeasing. Why would we build 1890's era structures in a city incorporated in 2003? Maricopa should be looking forward for its heritage, not just making a copy of someone else's history.
