There were cops directing traffic and there were runners: that was it. Presumably there was a finishing line somewhere... I could see putting that in a central location. Having the route go through the uptown - esepcially with no notification to residents - is the problem.Yappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126433451905766475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-8360355101764121572012-10-15T09:46:32.850-04:002012-10-15T09:46:32.850-04:00Actually, I find parades to be pretty boring.

Buckerfest sometimes entertaining, but not often. <br /><br /><br />Races I find more fun, and they have the advantage of encouraging healthy activity. <br /><br />Then again, I accept that not everyone finds the same things enjoyable that I do.<br /><br />Perhaps next time they should seek your approval?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-72884591827646701372012-10-15T08:13:54.740-04:002012-10-15T08:13:54.740-04:00Hi Anonymous,
Parades, buskerfests, carless Sunda...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />Parades, buskerfests, carless Sundays all have some major differences. One, they provide entertainment, not just an obstruction. Two, provision is made for cars to get across intersections.<br /><br />In this case I was picking up a handicapped person who was waiting for me in a parking garage. I gave myself 10 minutes more than I needed to get there but I was still very late. Once I got stuck in the traffic jam I couldn't move to find another route. I live uptown but I received no notice that the streets would be obstructed.<br /><br />Yappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126433451905766475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-77266524949106068552012-10-14T23:07:04.479-04:002012-10-14T23:07:04.479-04:00Actually, the more I think about it, the more sill...Actually, the more I think about it, the more silly your complaint seems. In any city you deal with events on the main streets. Parades, runs, markets, buskerfests etc. If you want to never be disturbed by civic activities, don't live in a downtown.
