The Water Street area, adjacent to downtown,
was filled with people drinking anything but water. This was one of the
largest of a dozen or so major block parties going on around town. I wouldn't
venture to guess how many smaller celebrations were going on. |
|
|
Most of the streets were blocked off around the
down town area. Bikes could get in, but cars were decidedly unwelcome. |

This shot is from about a half mile away from
the Water Street area, as close as I could park. Even here, crowds were somewhat

A series of views of a very busy corner of Water
Street. This part of the street was not yet closed, but it was nearly shut
down by the sheer volume of bike, and foot traffic. |
