Reply to comment by your_city_councilor in Down Lonely Street: Longtime businesses depart from Main Street downtown by HRJafael

I think what the author it trying to get at, is despite business booming for some, especially the newer businesses that inevitably attract crowds, others aren’t faring so well.

Heavy emphasis on the ‘I think’ part, because the article doesn’t delve nearly deep enough into what they are trying to say, if at all, and so ends up saying nothing, really.

Maybe it’s just me, but this feels like it was dropped on someone’s desk and told it needed to be typed up by the end of the day.

Yeah this article definitely feels...pointless. Main St being slow isn't a new take by any means, and the article doesn't really focus on a fault nor a solution. It just kind of...let a few business owners gripe without talking about anything else.

Agreed. Seems like someone told the writer, who's usually good, "Write something that says business downtown is bad."
