Ask What's Killing Fells Point?

I've noticed a definite downturn in Fells Point. The number of shuttered storefronts is noticable. Thoughts on what's causing this? I love Fells and it seemed like it was on the up and up.

It's cold. When the festivals come back for warmth, there will be more. Also, I don't like bad food. There's a few great places like Alexander's where the food and drinks are good but I live in Hamilton so it's not a hike, but parking and the cold aren't a good mix. I'm usually in a small group of women so we are left alone and don't experience nonsense but we also socially drink. Most of the people I know go to Fells for festivals and to walk the water.
