Why Is It So Empty?

As I'm learning more about St. Louis, I'm realizing that it's quite a nice city. One thing that bothers me on every visit I make to St. Louis, though, is how empty the streets are. Today it's Sunday, the weather is beautiful, it's sunny, so where are the people?

And it isn't just downtown that's so empty of people. Yesterday we walked on Euclid and it was the same.

Does anybody know why this happens? I've never seen anything ike this anywhere else and it's quite disturbing to me.
