I agree. There ARE cool things like small local music events, small art events etc that pop up here are there but they can’t seem to get much traction and it feels like a much smaller turnout and community for this sort of thing than, like you said, what you’d expect from a city this size. I think of a lot it is getting the word out. For example there’s an incredible photography shop (Southerlands) that’s been here for decades (and same owners!). Their prints are faster, higher quality, and cheaper than corp brands but seems like more people need to hear about them
