Coincidentally, just the other day, after seeing the traffic report, I commented to the wifey that back in the 1820s or so, it made sense to have a "downtown" or "city center" where people could go to a "store" to buy feed, groceries, etc. But, somehow, that necessity morphed into it being a place for people to go to work, resulting in massive traffic which the idiot city "planners" and "transportation engineers" still can't figure out how to manage.

I can only surmise that this is a throwback to ancient Rome and Athens, and that we, as a species, haven't grown out of it yet.

On the other hand, as a musician and sound engineer, there's not a lot of work in, say, Hearne, Texas - which DOES have a downtown.

But I DO get what you're saying!
