Yeah, that is my impression too, I guess. A colleague actually used that description... "wow, this is a really sleepy town". I don't think I'd go that far in the description (maybe downtown and its environs area only), but I think that its dense commercial/entertainment zones being spread out over a pretty large area likely has something to do with it, like you suggest.
