I was in Hiroshima a few years back and it's completely livable. If someone left you downtown and never told you where you are, you wouldn't imagine that a nuclear bomb exploded there a few decades ago.
BTW, all the information you are looking for is readily available on Wikipedia. I'm sure that if you are savvy enough to post this question on HN, you can find all the answers yourself through Google.

Though the remains of the "the domed Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall" tip you off that something bad happened that people don't want to forget. The millions of origami cranes lying around in the park are also quite striking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadako_Sasaki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadako_Sasaki
- donw 17y agoThat's only a small section, outside of downtown, that has been explicitly preserved. Walk just a few blocks away from the peace museum, or the memorial, and there's office buildings, a huge underground shopping mall, and... well, it's just like a normal city. Because it is a normal city.
