Summary
Decatur Street’s construction zone is finally showing signs of progress—with fences coming down and foot traffic creeping back in, giving some businesses a much-needed boost ahead of big events. But the bigger picture? Still grim. Sales are cratering—25% down on average, 50% on event days—and for one restaurant, the toll has been brutal: over a million dollars lost since last August, forcing them to slash hours and close three days a week. Compounding the pain? The Sewerage and Water Board allegedly ignoring court orders to ease the burden. It’s a tale of cautious hope battling stubborn obstacles as locals fight to survive amid the chaos. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
