It was an area in which all of them agreed – they support its prosperity. Yet as someone who has worked in the center of the city, albeit for just over two years, it’s hard to imagine what that means. There have been hopeful signs in that time, as incumbent Mayor Pam Kennedy pointed out at the debate. True, it appears more new businesses have recently moved into downtown than have moved out. And several – like Bonelli’s (Italian food), Camas Creek (yarn), Fawn (clothes) and Red’s Roost (bar) – have some staying power. But it is still a stretch to think of downtown Kalispell as a destination for entertainment.
