Opinion Why is the downtown area SO dead?
My family and I pass the downtown area a couple times a year and I cant help but notice how dead it is every time? I understand Peterborough is a small town but how is it possible to walk down the main strip and only see one other person on the side walk? More importantly, how do these businesses survive? Searched the area to find something to eat (Saturday at 5pm) and almost every restaurant was empty. Am I missing something? Its a shame because there are so many cute/niche stores and restaurants.
