-Jimmy Moses once said, "A city is where you have those casual interactions with all kinds of people."  Moses grew up with these experiences; that is why he has made it his life mission to revitalize downtown Little Rock. Moses attempted many times in his life to revitalize and bring life back into Downtown Little Rock. There were as many as five attempts prior to the River Market Project, including [[Capitol Place]], the [[Downtown Little Rock Development Plan]], [[Metrocenter Mall]], [[Mainstreet Market]], and [[Diamond Center]]. The missing piece with planning the revitalization was support from peers and the community.  Moses helped put together the [[Downtown Little Rock Partnership]], an organization that managed the River Market Project. Moses is a man that loves city life and loves the common places where people mix and mingle with other types of people in the community.
