The way Worcester handled the pandemic didn't help. On another note I remember there being foot traffic down down in the early 00s especially during the week when I first started driving. It was like a mini Boston.. now there are just small pockets of foot traffic mostly by the court house.

I don't know. I remember people always talking about "Will the last person to leave downtown Worcester please turn off the lights" well into the 1990s. Nationally foot traffic is down in business districts, because workers are not in the office as much, but there are all kinds of new businesses downtown, like Brew on the Grid, Fuel America, etc.
