This place used to be full of cars.

Never understood why they let cars there. Delivery trucks, sure.
It was way too narrow for passenger cars and there’s a parallel road right next door.
It was some wacky jurisdiction thing between the city, the market stewards that run the whole market, and individual car brained shop owners. The city has basically wanted to end customers entering for decades, but the market corporation was always resistant, probably due to dumb vendors.
Turns out wow, like literally every other shopping district that opens up space for bikes and people and reduces cars, foot traffic and sales are way up. This experiment, which has been tested 10s of thousands of times and always repeats the same positive results, did it again. The car brained vendors making more money still don’t like it, but whatever.

business owners are stupid as fuck… how did they get enough capital to own a business
MIT ran a study decades ago to find the features that were most indicative of success among their PhD students. They looked at hundreds of features like intelligence, money, age, grades, prior schools, etc.
The #1 dominating factor above all others was perseverance. How much the person would just keep working despite obstacles mattered more than anything else.
The same goes for people running and starting businesses. Intelligence isn’t the dominating factor, perseverance is.
If I can’t have a fish thrown directly into my car’s window, I don’t even know what this country is even about anymore
A beautiful place. Glad they finally did this. Was always a mess walking around with all the dumb cars parked and others trying to get through. Love visiting this part of the city!
And a superbowl victory to boot.
A very boring superbowl victory…
Maybe plant a tree or two next 🐸

all those businesses are going bankrupt now…
A sad state, no cars can fit with those hordes of people in the way :(
