The holy grail of busy-ness - the ease or difficulty with which one can find a park - suggests life is returning to normal in Eastwood, once Sydney's ground zero for the coronavirus pandemic | AnnaPattySMH
In late January, the normally bustling main street of Eastwood was almost deserted weeks before the official COVID-19 lockdown had even begun.
Alvin Fung, 38, an architect from Marsfield who does his weekly grocery shopping in Eastwood, said he noticed crowds returning in recent weeks."It went quiet but now it has well and truly picked up again. It looks like a normal Sunday," he said.Mr Fung said he and his wife Sammi Lee "felt pretty safe" because most COVID-19 infections in NSW were returned travellers.
About seven shops on Eastwood's main street remain closed, but most restaurants and cafes were open. In Foodies Street that runs off the mall, seven out of 12 fast food outlets are shut with roller doors covering shop fronts.
