“The Secret City Tour is one of our most loved events.” Jennifer Kime, DMI CEO, stated. “Whether people are looking for a location to locate their own business, just take photos or for the sake of pure curiosity, the tour is always a great opportunity to see unique, often unseen spaces in downtown. This year, there is renewed excitement in activating downtown spaces, so we are excited to be able to provide two tours this year.”
