Seems like since the summer of this year things are getting slower.

    I check in informally with a half dozen small downtown businesses most days of the week, and sales are down in retail by about 20% since July.

      That’s normal in a lot of retail when comparing summer and winter. In restaurants I’ve helped with, it’s often around 40% seasonal decline. What’s the change year over year? That’s the more helpful number.
