The downtown businesses' backup systems only give them about 10 minutes of operating time...just enough to safely power down their computer systems. Consequently, all the retail businesses were closed by 5:00 - every grocery store, gas station, Rite Aid, etc. The only places open were the police station and Huggins Hospital. So, if you planned to stop after work to buy food, gas, or medicine, it didn't matter whether you live in downtown or further afield, you were "S.O.L". Sounds fair to me!
Tis, I think you might be right about the Lehner Street generator. It was probably able to supply enough power for the downtown businesses and homes.
