About Us
The Downtown Project (TDP) is dedicated to the concept that “downtown” is really a state of mind – it’s whatever gets you out, inspires and motivates you to explore your world. All of our content is vetted by our Project Managers (see below) and Featured Contributors. So, when you feel like being a tourist in your own town or exploring something new, make it a project and check out some of our new twists on the old standbys or, see where our Featured Contributors have been lately.
We call all of this our little passion project… You can call it The Downtown Project.
