    Downtown Details News From Downtown Mobile Alliance http://ui.constantcontact.com/visualeditor/visual_editor_preview.jsp?agent... Downtown Details News from the Downtown Mobile Alliance September 2009 In This Issue Dear Carol, Development Buzz Retail Happenings A recent story on National Public Radio BayFest featured efforts by the New Downtown Marketing Campaign city of Palm Springs, California to enliven its Article Headline downtown streetscape by filling vacant store front windows with artwork. As retail experts note, empty windows discourage pedestrian traffic, not only because there's nowhere to shop, but also because the walk is less interesting. The Downtown Mobile Alliance began a similar program several weeks ago and the first installation is now up at 250 Dauphin Street (the former Cathedral Square Gallery), a building owned by the Naman family. Rather than hanging random images, we asked artist Walter Simon to paint a canvas reflecting what the space could become -- in this case, a downtown market. Let us know what other retail options you'd like to see in Downtown Mobile ...your vision might just show up on canvas, and eventually in real life! Development Buzz A new concept for downtown will open its doors next month. The Umbrella Seed, a downtown creative and wellness foundation is scheduled to open October 15th at 552 Dauphin Street. The operation, envisioned by ceramic artist Zach DePolo, will combine the visual and performing arts with health and wellness. The first event is a Haunted Hospital fundraiser, featuring a haunted film scramble and haunted gifts in the gallery.
