Did you see the tickets on cars downtown? Some cars anyway. Isn’t that special? You have an event at 5:30 PM at McLevy. Downtown residents stroll from their homes. City bigwigs stride over from the Annex (Mayor, Elaine F, Tom Sherwood and AAA Adam, Andy and Alanna) and for the most part clot together. No problem leaving your car at City Hall.
Folks from outside the “teardrop” drive in, park on the street at meters, and come back to their cars post-concert with tickets. “Come on down. We know how to welcome you in this town.” Quality of life issue? No Problem. Time will tell.
