I was in Uptown Waterloo post Jazz Festival on the Saturday evening and anecdotally, King St south of Erb was fairly quiet (despite the Festival just wrapping up), while King St north of Erb was positively hopping. That being said, some establishments north of Erb had line-ups around the block, while others were busy but had no line-ups, and some were closed. Cruising up and down King, either on foot or by car, was also alive and well as a 100+ year tradition. In the 10-15 minutes that I happened to be watching the world go by, I watched several of the same groups or cars head north and then return south.
