Wandering around downtown Hanford. Proof that having preserved buildings from the 1800s doesn't alone make for a vibrant experience.

Indeed, but alone, and in isolation, it's just an old hard to maintain building.

(Talking with Dan Zack about the Fresno pedestrian mall was a good reminder of all of the ways that, if you surround a place with parking and no residential, and build your pedestrian spaces to funnel people away from retail, you can make a historic space very unusable.)

Preservation is a step up from a lot of places.
