Never mind that most of the office space inventory is far from teeming 
downtown locations and their residents, where cultural centers tend to 
thrive.  The geographic confines of a city like SF make for a very 
different situation that we have here.  I'm sure there are new 
opportunities in the Raleigh, Durham and Chappie downtown areas, but it 
would seem to me that most of the emptied real estate is probably up in 
the Park.  Maybe it's just me, but it's hard to imagine a lively arts 
scene popping up in the old Nortel space.

keeps the brew, and the computers, cool.
