Too bad Super Bowl L is such an abomination. They have turned Market Street into a tacky noise machine with automatic weapon toting storm troopers. A lot of the merchants in the area are getting hurt. As far as I can tell, the visitors are not patronizing the local businesses much and the regular customers are being kept away. Enough people are staying out of downtown that I have gotten a seat on BART every day this week. Traffic patterns won't return to normal till three weeks after the initial closures. I think most of the businesses would have been better off with an Elks Club convention.
On the plus side, the Old Mint looks pretty for a week.
