. "I love downtown Tempe(and live there too).\nGreat restaurants(House of Tricks is best)\nI am writing this in hope that the New Year eve block party will get fixed.\nThis years 2015-16 needed lots of help.\n\nAdmission was slow and confusing.\n\nThe promised food trucks were few and not interesting.(somebody need to go to Portland OR to get what food trucks are).\n\nThe music,especially the north stage was not much more than \"put the bass to max low frequency and max the volume\". I recall the Nazis were working on this concept for a death ray.\n\nWhat made previous years was small groups or individuals performing around the site(I did not see any).\n\nThere was no 10 pm fireworks or not much of anything for kids.\n\nI know the light rail has limited space by cutting off Tempe Beach but it could be expanded to Farmer district or to the East.\n\nDespite all this the revelers seemed in good spirits!\nI guess it is just hard to see how what was done in 2015 fails to meet up to what we had. ..Obviously I am getting old. \nYeah like in the good old days."^^ .
