Relax, guy. It’s one day out of the year. Streets get closed to car traffic for stuff sometimes. It happens.

Thank gawd someone has balls enough to point out the obvious…what with all the self-congratulatory "Car Free" glad-handing that’s been going on today.

Closing down part of a major thoroughfare on a work day….Brilliant!

The idiocy of this event is just astounding.

I knew, I saw it on the news this morning. Marty coulda done a better job of announcing it.
