He sure screwed up my morning commute. Took 2 1/2 hrs to go from six mile to n. Territorial on US23. Slow down out there drivers. People treat it like a race track.

Same here. We spent most of the day and evening on Saturday at the carnival. Kids had a blast withRead More the unlimited ride band and they were able to spent time with school friends before the summer off. I didn't see any problems, fights or anything else some people seemed to be worried about. The carnival even kept rides open after 11:00pm for those last few kids that wanted to get on one more time. Hope we can get something again in September or October.
