It is hard to get them to identify with downtown Jax because they live 20 miles from it....
The only part I see about DT that "clicks" right now is Bricktown. Am sure others will disagree but we have the same thing here. People don't identify themselves as OKC residents (except to people who aren't familiar with the Metro). They say they live on Southside, Capital Hill, Mustang, Edmond, Heritage Hills, etc.
