Google Earth has a Photorealistic 3D Buildings layer that you can use to host 3D models of the buildings in your downtown annotated with a wide variety of information that people might find useful. Because it's a full, navigable 3D environment, you can go on a virtual tour and get a much better feel for the city than you might from a traditional map. You can click on a building to pull up an information bubble that might contain anything from descriptions of the stores in the building to photographs of the merchandise to a description of the building itself, its construction date, and architect. You're in control of both the model and the information attached to it; you can update it with links to events happening in the area, sample restaurant menus, or websites associated with a retail store.

With a complete set of 3D models, you can even use Google Earth for city planning. Is that side street really as pedestrian-friendly as you want it to be? If I approach downtown from this bus stop, do I have a clear idea of where I should go to get to the central square?
