Community members and local owners were happy to see downtown San Jose alive during a community block party that featured live music, art, and more than 100 businesses.
"This is kind of the vibrancy that I'm talking about you know like you feel like something is happening right next to where you live and I think that's what urban living is about," Wang said. "I could've just chosen to live in the suburb but the reason I want chose downtown is I want to be close to business I want to be close to people and so it's great to see people coming out of their home and all gathered together.
New businesses downtown were welcoming the support. The head brewer at Fox Tale Fermentation Project said they sold a week's worth of beer in two hours. "I'm always very concerned about how the growth of downtown is going I thought it was a ghost town - this proves me kind of wrong in a lot of ways. But I am very excited and I hope that this continues the support needs to be here," Felipe Bravo said.Suki Nagra who currently lives in Gilroy is glad to see this momentum.
"I have a friend here down the street who owns a restaurant and he's been telling me it's been kind of dead it's not like it used to be before the pandemic. And I like that the city is making an effort like this bring everybody out together," Nagra said."Well we're just checking things out we were looking for a place to find some good beer - some good food," Ferguson said.
