In the winter edition of Downtown magazine, find all of the best holiday pop-up shops and markets going down around Downtown (page 3); see how Theather District institutions used their artistic gifts to help the city express its resilience (page 5); and dive into Plan Downtown's strong strategy and see what's in store for the future of Downtown (page 15).
