Karolyn Plummer, owner of Sweet Red Peach, expressed frustration, stating, 'My lowest day of sales was the Super Bowl. They shut off the street and told people do not come down Prairie if you are not attending the game.' This illustrates the direct impact of venue-related traffic restrictions on local businesses.
Local Black business owners have voiced their concerns about event-related traffic and road closures. 'It’s frustrating because we’re right here, but it feels as if we’re being ignored,' reflected Plummer, highlighting the struggle against the overshadowing of their businesses by larger venues.
