Downtown Provo: Rejuvenated

October 9, 2014 by Andrew Wankier Leave a Comment

People born within the last fifty years may have little memory of when a city’s downtown boasted a unique mix of culture and identity. Thanks to shopping malls and big box retailers, many of the downtowns across Utah serve as ghostly reminders of once-thriving districts of commerce.
