it depends, being from the NY metro area, when i think downtown, i think bright lights, big city, imposing skyline, etc..

but having visited some other supposed cities, i think downtown to most people means some po' dunk collection of some generic shops and a couple quasi-skyscrapers.

LIBERAL EAST COAST CITY ELITIST FOR LIFE!!!
 
i think all the streets between broadway and main street as well as all the numbered streets between 1 and 10

north jersey is a premium place to live and i enjoy the people who make fun of jersey because i know what a great place it really is - and that most of them probably live in some po'dunk village with nothing around them.

NJ= 30 minutes west - appalachian mountains and a pristine river. 30 minutes south - ocean beaches. 10 minutes east - the greatest city on earth.

can't beat it.

I live in San Diego, CA. 😎
 
Bums, tattoo parlors, bums, meth heads, expensive, underused civic blunders, bums, artsy-fartsy-MFAs opening galleries on six month leases cycling through, bums, court employees, lawyers, and their scum clients, parking meters, bums, really, really, really, really bad smelling people.
 
the business district....every town/city has one.

usually it surrounds the courthouse if there is one...

in our little city of around ~30,000 has about 3 main streets, lined with historic 2 or 3 story buildings.... there's a few newer 5-6 story buildings in the area, but that's about it... up on the freeway there's some semi-high rise hotels, but there in a completely different part of the city.... i guess that would be "uptown."

That's not little.
 
Downtown? The courthouse, police station, 30-story banks, one-way streets, the Omni hotel, the jettys/t-heads and hookers.
 
"Downtown" is the stretch of a couple of blocks in the village/city on main street where they have some sort of a "square" or park or some place to host city/village events such as the farmers market. There are also commercial establishments such as the bar, the barber shop, the coffee shop, the cafe and ice cream parlor, the hardware store, and lots of other things that end in "shop"

In some cities, downtown stretches for Miles (Chicago for example), in others it is a mere block.
