^^it appears some of the businesses have closed fairly recently, many signs still up.

I had the whole place to myself! I saw four drunk guys, a young couple and an elderly woman down there. No traffic, maybe one or two cars every 15 minutes. I could stand in the middle of Queen Street and take pictures without thinking about traffic!
It was Monday afternoon and a holiday (Family Day) so the banks were closed. Still, I don't think it would make much difference (on Queen St. at least) because there were barely any businesses other than the two banks that would have been open. Even that newish 6 storey building was empty on the bottom floor. Surprisingly, considering the crappy weather, the tourists were out in full force on Clifton Hill and around the Falls.
