| - I am very torn about First Friday. I absolutely love community events. Especially art walks, and more creative culture, but this is very lacking. I want to love it because it's in my back yard, too!
However, First Friday leaves me with a sense of empty feeling. Located in the arts district downtown should be plenty of reason why this event should boast art, but it doesn't.
The art galleries are lacking, and the street vendors that sell art are more there to just get a buck than they are about art.
Then there's the riff raff of downtown trying to join in, and so many kids everywhere! I guess police try to crack down on curfew, but there's always so many grungy kids that are up to no good running around.
The food stalls are nice during summer hours, winter many vendors decide to stay home.
I'll probably end up going back in the summer, but I'll go early before it gets dark, and the crazy kids (literally kids) come out at night.
