might add, in today's giant sprawl, "downtown" refers to the uban core itself, and while there is no proper "uptown", there are the suburbs. so its no longer downtown vs. uptown inside the city but more of a downtown vs. suburbia.

Brilliant.

downtown=sexual innuendo

would the hotels on the beach in daytona be downtown? that's where all the fun is.uptown in edgewater.. mcdonalds and the movies (but it's actually a different city), and downtown is the hick area.

Sure would.
And NSB's "downtown" is canal street. Disappointing, no?
Uptown would actually be more like Ormond where all the rich people live.
And Edgewater's uptown would definitely be like the movies.

ironically downtown means what uptown used to mean.
the term comes from the medieval ages, the castles were built on high ground and uptown was used to describe the part of town next to the castle in between fortified walls and downtown used to describe the lowest part of town out of fortified walls.

i was thinking flagler avenue. canal street makes me sad. flagler is kinda fun, except for the seaside fiesta..all of the nsb hos partying it up with $2.75 cans of coke.. blech.


█████████- you beat me!

Yeah... Flagler works too. I remember when I was little canal street used to be awesome but now it just sucks.

HAHA SEASIDE FIESTA! What a joke.

the drugstore on flagler still has the best grilled cheese.

i think the fiesta was just a few days ago, because my facebook updates included "seaside fiesta LOLOLOL AWESOME!!!" and crap like that. ugh. but maybe it was something in port orange?

I'm fairly sure it was a few days ago.
Thank god I managed to avoid it.
Nothing like a bunch of people walking down a fairly busy street for no apparent reason
