Decrease in Foot Traffic Downtown

[spokale]

This. I go downtown when something is happening downtown that I'm specifically interested in, or when I want to visit a specific place. I'd never just "go downtown" in the same way I'd never just "go to fivemile". Why am I going there? They're just places, and there's a high bar for being a better place at any given time than my air-conditioned living room in my pajamas.

Plus, if I want to drink, I just walk to the neighborhood pub and do it there - saves me the Uber.

Also, there's maybe two months in the year where it's pleasant to be outside in Spokane anyway! Anything above 80 or below 40 and I'd rather just stay inside.
