About 10 years ago now I took the train out east and had to switch train stations in Buffalo (they have two stations there). I arrived in the suburbs which felt fairly normal to me and I took a bus into downtown. The buildings downtown looked fairly normal to me and in apparently reasonable repair, but the streets were remarkably empty of both cars and people. It kind of freaked me out and that was like 5 in the afternoon. I saw some people here and there and saw a wedding party which helped me feel safe. I never encountered anything directly scary there, but it was disconcerting.
