I'm curious, as I rarely go to the downtown area during the day, is it a lot of pedestrians like shoppers, workers and tourists? Or, is it like during the night where its mostly a college club goers?
If you're seeking lots of foot traffic+grit, I'd say Jersey City, NJ; Hoboken, NJ (parts of Hoboken away from Washington St. are actually semi-gritty); and Berkeley, CA. The most foot traffic+liveliest street scene in the <250k population bracket would easily go to Miami Beach, however...but Miami Beach isn't that gritty.

It's busy, but only along one street (King Street). It's more similar to Charleston, SC. I still stand by Hoboken, Jersey City, Berkeley and Miami Beach.
