About State Street: the last four years were bad then good, as to letting restaurants operate with outside dining on the streets. But that hasn’t been needed for a while now. One street closed does not stop COVID. It’s here and not leaving. Just like getting the flu, some will and some won’t get it.
When I go down to State Street, in the last three years, so many businesses have closed — main stores like Macy’s, Nordstrom, and a lot of popular stores. Partly due to COVID, but also due to closing down the access to cars. They have been replaced by cheap souvenir stores and other cheap merchandise. State Street was known for better retail and better restaurants; now those are gone.
We walk through, looking for what we’ve known to have been there, only to find those places are gone. I miss State Street.
