Also, if you have kids under 16 you might wish to reconsider venues.\nJust about everyone here is trying to sell you something. Many hawkers were trying to solicit your vote for some cause or another. God was being sold by several street corner preachers. \nDo you really need another piece of costume jewelry? There were several booths selling stuff. The food vendors did not have very appetizing fare and it was my guess that the Board of Health would not have been happy.\nLike Rap music? You will be happy here since that was 90% of the music being played.\nOn the positive side, if you ride the light rail you can avoid parking hassles trying to find a safe place to park. The rail stop at Roosevelt is the best departure point. Then, walk east on the south side of the street. The north side of the street is under development.\nAnother plus was the huge police presence. Several police on bicycles kept an eye out for bad guys."^^ . . . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . "2017-10-09T00:00:00"^^ . .
