People on Main Street during the pedestrian days last summer and fall apparently spent money wandering into shops and when they sat down at restaurants, cafes and bars.
But they might not have taken home a piece of art.
As an important round of discussions about the operations of Main Street this summer and fall approaches, the group that represents businesses in the Old Town core has compiled the results of a survey showing whether various business segments support a second year of the pedestrian days. The days this year would be held alongside the Park Silly Sunday Market, which plans to return to Main Street in 2021 after a one-year hiatus in 2020 amid the spread of the novel coronavirus. The Silly Market for years has split Main Street businesses between those that have received a boost from the Silly Market crowds and those that have not.
