YAY!!! Less parking, worse traffic! A win-win situation.
/sarcasm
Parking?? LOL.. All those people having fun and you’re worried about storing your private vehicle there instead?
Was awesome. Strolled the farmers market and then the flea and then down Columbus. Nice and peaceful and wonderful. Heck with parking. Go pay.
We need more of these. Thank you!
