> I have never once strolled down a Main Street

You know it doesn't have to be named "Main Street" to be a Main Street

Yes, I meant shopping while walking around an old school downtown with a clothing store next to a grocer next to a shoe store next to a diner next to hardware store etc.

I only ever remember going to Walmart, Home Depot, Costco, Best Buy, malls, Kroger, etc.

The Hudson Valley has something analogous to bedroom communities, scenic small towns which have vibrant downtowns with all sorts of little shops for weekenders to stroll around.
