Streets that normally bustled with shoppers and tourists were empty. Covered wagons, coaches, old-fashioned trucks, and people dressed in period clothing bustled about the area. During the town's heyday, some 3,000 people bustled around the busy streets. Main Street bustled with commercial activity. In its heyday, it bustled as a commercial port. A large market, the Sukharevka, bustled around the tower in the 19th century. The home bustled with creative activity and competition.
