Downtown can be so hit or miss. Friday and Saturday nights are pretty busy, but outside of that, it can definitely feel pretty empty. There's been a long tradition of most businesses down here closing at 6pm and a lot of people only coming downtown for work... so they go home.

I'm sure it'd be a different story of most of the buildings weren't empty office towers lol

No idea about parking myself, since I live down here and don't have a car.
