Sparse

One would expect a local mall to have more people in it, given that Black Friday is coming up. But while it may not be immediately evident from this photograph, most of the place was still blacked out. Only one building out of the four that made of the central mall had power. (It's not in the photo. because I was standing in front of it.)

I'm pretty sure that the stores that were closed for lack of power, and the employees that were furloughed as a result, are all going to feel some financial stress from this, even if it's not particularly much. That's a part of having creaky infrastructure that isn't often in the public eye.
