From Wikipedia:

Main Street is the metonym for a generic street name (and often the official name) of the primary retail street of a village, town, or small city in many parts of the world. It is usually a focal point for shops and retailers in the central business district, and is most often used in reference to retailing and socializing.

In the general sense, the term “Main Street” refers to a place of traditional values.
From Wikipedia:

In the North American media, “Main Street,” or the interests of everyday working-class people and small business owners, is sometimes contrasted with “Wall Street” (in the United States) or “Bay Street” (in Canada), symbolizing the interests of corporate capitalism.

Main Street was an extremely popular term during the economic crises in 2008 and 2009: the proposed bailout of U.S. financial system, the 2008 presidential campaign, and debates.
