So I had to find a new route. My fair city is hosting and "Arts Fest," which involves shutting down a lot of streets. I decided to go down the main drag in protest. Interestingly, it turned out not to be that bad. There is a rarely-used center turn lane which allows easy passing. I usually go another route during Arts Fest, which involves a 2 lane one way street that should allow easy passing, but it never works out that way. I'm trying to decide how to get home, and having a hard time of it.
