On a rainy or cold day the main Shopping district of Walnut + Chestnut is lucky to receive 1,000 shoppers a day. On a nice day they may get a quarter amount of shoppers that the King of Prussia Mall receives. Lets not get it twisted, Center City is mainly a destination for Diners, Theatre goers and white collar workers looking for a bite to eat at lunch. The shopping leaves alot to be desired. |
Aw c'mon, you're talking about shopping districts of undefined boundaries on two streets (free clue: CC has several more streets) on a cold and/or wet day and still not saying anything to indicate from whence these numbers are derived (you count? methodology please).
I'll do your homework for you; here are actual pedestrian traffic counts done by the CCD this past June for a number of popular retail blocks:

And they tell you how they arrived at the numbers. Unfortunately they don't include weekends and are limited to 11:30 am - 2:30 pm.
