Same for us in Grand Rapids, MI.  We don't go into the city anymore.

All the good restaurants are gone in Grand Rapids.  Either damaged in the
"riot" in 2020 or not enough paying customers.

Many years ago, my wife and I did a little walking tour of the city.  We went
down an area that at one point was obviously a prosperous area, but now run
down.  I did some research on that area and found that the area was near the
riots back in the 1960's.  It never recovered.

Some businesses never came back.  Others left permanently.  Still others closed
as the business traffic stopped.
