Do you know how to jump-start downtown Sault Ste. Marie?
SooTodayA "downtown" is a neighbourhood, (a concentration of businesses, public spaces and services, housing, etc.) There are many "neighbourhoods" in the Sault. They don't all look the same, have the same same amenities, are different sizes, some more urban/commercial/suburban than others, etc.. But to the people who live in them or near them, it's their "hood". So tell me of your "neighbourhood" and how its any different than downtown.
