Outside of those cities, though, there really wasn't a "lockdown." Nobody was forced to stay in their homes. People treated it as optional and were out and about despite the utterly unenforced "stay at home". Around me, it had a minor impact on traffic, but no noticeable impact on stores, restaurants, and socialization.

National and state parks were closed. Flights cancelled. There was not much to do outside.
There were a lot more people outside during lockdown. There were running and cycling booms.
Literally every form of outdoor recreational equipment from cornhole to million dollar power boats had a huge sales boom during covid.
