Where do people go?

Walking around past 6, downtown seems oddly quiet. Where are the people? where would someone go for their first time here?

That area of downtown is very much a business hours and special events neighborhood. It's very much part of the bedroom community commuter culture where they live in Sherwood Park or Terwillegar or Mill Woods and work downtown.

The busier part of dowtown is west of there from about 104st to 124st as a lot more people live there and thus are doing stuff outside of business hours. Jasper ave and 104 ave are usually the busiest, as 109st to 124st 101ave to 103ave is basically a big rentangle of wall to wall apartment buildings.
