Downtown Orlando, Florida has the Downtown Arts District and the Downtown Development Board, helping it progress MUCH faster than other hoods in the city. A movie theatre, bars, restaurants and art galleries fill the streets not taken up by hideous 1960s office buildings (Thank you urban renewal) and new condos are sprouting up along bare blocks.
Some things to do:
Ron's Miniature Shop
crazy collection of miniature everything
Garden Cafe
vegetarian restaurant in former Pizza Hut
The Black Olive
classy restaurant with friendly laid back staff
The 55 West apartment building on Church Street
City Hall
The American Federal Building (The Round Building) sits on the site of the upcoming Dr Phillips Performing Arts Center. A competition was held by Central Florida Modern to repurpose the building's brise soleil.
Condo and office space is increasing
Wall Street is an alley of bars owned by the same company
The Sun Trust building offers shady seating and a lush green for picnic lunches
The downtown information center
Scooter shops are popping up in several neighborhoods, including downtown. This one is an art space as well.
Lake Eola Park hosts a weekly Farmers Market and an annual ice skating rink
Dave Ballentine called the downtown branch of the Orange County Library System a "homeless day care center."
