grew up around a waterway known as Turkey Creek and the intersection of two railroad lines.<\/strong>\u00a0In 1962, the creek flooded, nearly wiping out the downtown commercial district. At the same time, a suburban shopping mall on the city\u2019s west side was draining the vitality of the historic downtown district, and the city developed a plan to modernize Main Street by creating an \u201coverhead sidewalk\u201d that would turn the second floor of the existing buildings into a new \u201cstreet\u201d while serving as a canopy for the sidewalks below. Building owners spent nearly $2 million upgrading their properties and linking them to the ramp, while the government contributed over $5 million to build the elevated walkways and to enlarge and reroute the underground channel carrying Turkey Creek.\u00a0<\/p><p>The project was completed in 1967, and the city fathers hoped it would turn the dilapidated central business district into a bright and enticing commercial haven and aesthetically place the downtown on par with any shopping center. In the end, however, the Skymart was no match for air-conditioned and enclosed suburban shopping malls, and it has served as little more than a roof over the sidewalk and a remnant of the idealism of 1960s urban renewal. However, the overhead sidewalks still stand.
