I had a client ask where downtown Hilton Head was.  They had been here several days and assumed that they had not found it yet.  We don’t really have a downtown, but if we did it would be Pope Avenue.

When Hilton Head Island was planned, the original planner did a great job of making it a low density development and designing the commercial areas so they were hidden and in different areas. 

When I discuss this with people, some really like the way Hilton Head has it’s commercial areas.  There is nothing wrong with downtowns; in fact, I was just over in downtown Savannah the other day and it is a beautiful place.
