At about 2:00 this afternoon, I will grab the BLACK BOOK, and try to get across the street against the biker flow, and leave the store for the weekend in the hands of the cheerful young fellows who work for me.
I'll mow the lawn, dink around the garden, then settle down with the BLACK BOOK (I always intone that) to do my monthly orders.
I was not going to say anything about street closures this year; because it's a no win situation. "That which you can't change....blah, blah."
So for 3/4ths of the next six weeks or so -- the very meat of summer -- we will have closed streets on the weekend. It appears there is a new event tacked on, as well as the bike race today which was a new event last year. (I could swear they said they weren't going to add new events.)
Oh, well. The majority of the downtown retailers seem to like these events; or at least acquiesce to them.
So be it.
