The entrance and presence of the Harley motorcycles was intentionally noisy and further discouraged any traffic that might consider coming into the block to visit other businesses. This is/was particularly hard on most of the other businesses because Saturday (and Saturday afternoons) is the busiest time of the week for all. <br /><br />How did Fierro get such a permit from the mayor, chief of police, and DPW superintendent? This is such a bad idea for everyone else. Perhaps that is why no one was informed that this would take place. Spring and summer are the busiest time of year for merchants and the last thing most of the small shops need are more events like this closing down Warren Street. With the blocking of traffic at fourth, traffic was disrupted for the entire town.<br /><br />Thanks, again, American Glory, for being a bad neighbor. Hopefully the mayor, chief of police and DPW superintendent will rethink this for next year and, at least, move it off Warren Street.Carole Osterinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010623982526286408noreply@blogger.com
