“American Idol” Need Look No Further than “Downtown!”

Some of you may remember the song “Downtown” by Petula Clark. A popular 1960s hit it became the mantra for many downtown promotions before the National Main Street program declared the song had just been used too much. That was 20 years ago and the song is enjoying new relevance as Main Street cities successfully bring their downtowns “back to life.”

Main Street Winter Haven working with the City has brought new energy, beauty and vitality to Downtown Winter Haven. At Main Street’s recent annual meeting there was a “new release” of “Downtown” by a variety of talented Winter Haven folks. There are some surprising cameo appearances as well. You’ll enjoy watching…

The video was produced and created by Main Street Winter Haven, Inc. and directed, filmed and edited by Xnext Studios.

    I’m not sure why your computer won’t load the page(s) that display this video. All contain links to http://www.YouTube.com. Try going there and typing “Downtown Winter Haven” in the “Search” block. The Downtown Video should be the first one displayed. Double click on the thumbnail and it will play automatically.
