[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just walked through Union Station on my way to an appointment. While US used to be a destination/ meetup for me — anyone else remember the awesomeness that was B. Smith’s? — I wouldn’t describe it that way anymore. There were lots of closed storefronts, which I’m guessing are at least partly related to COVID.  The large store that replaced the book shop is gapingly vacant, and the cheerfulness that I remember from pre-COVID holiday seasons just wasn’t there (yet).  But I did not, at any point, feel unsafe. There was visible security— including a dog.  People lined up for their trains. People like me wove ourselves through the lines to get where we needed to go.  It was fine.  It wasn’t pretty, or festive like it has been, but it was fine.  [/quote]

Yes, I remember! That was a great place. (I get sad thinking about what happened to her though.) I haven’t been to Union Station in years, but it was a fun place to pop in especially with out of towners. Sad to hear that it is mostly vacant now. [/quote]
