For real. It was an annual tradition I had, and it absolutely made the flower show more worthwhile.

The info booth I asked just straight up said it was because "too many drunks cause too many problems." Still, they could of limited the size to make people less inebriated afterward. I wouldn't be surprised if Aramark was lobbying for the demise to increase their sales.

I saw it yesterday. This year is the best it has been in quite a while. All of the exhibits were hits in my opinion. The candy lane section was particularly cool. My one comment on the floral displays is that more than usual exhibits had queues to properly view them. You won't need to actually go through them to see them, but a couple are worthwhile to do so.

The vendors have changed a bit from prior years, yet most have remained the same. The tourism area in the corridor has shrunken drastically, but the activity/kid areas have grown.

THERE IS NO WINE AND LIQUOR TASTING THIS YEAR.

Overall I would say this flower show is worth the price. It is just a matter of whether you like conventions and whatnot. People will talk about the size of the vendor area, but in all reality that is how every single event and expo is.

The city needs to purchase Pencoyd bridge by the Regal and turn it into a public access bridge. Green lane to Belmont needs to be expanded to include a right turn lane only to access 76 West. I really believe a large chunk of rush hour traffic is created because a third of the people want to turn right and get stuck behind a single car going straight.

I don't think they care all that much, but you may not have the ability to wait inside depending on location. You likely won't gain anything more from being there that early. It may be better to just take that time to practice what you think your weak points are.

My spouse just got their license from the West Oak Lane location. The test took about 5-10 minutes. You'll parallel park in a generous space, exit the parking lot, cross the road, go around a couple neighborhood blocks, and come back. It's not too hard at all. You got it!

The right doesn't care about what someone does when it comes to using an office to enrich oneself, what someone says, or what they do on their own time. They only care about whether a candidate will vote for what they want regardless of any other inputs. Look at "George Santos," Trump, or Walker as examples

In contrast, the left cares about what office holders do and have done regardless of what they do in office. The left will want to remove someone from office for something that happened decades ago or for appearing improper in any way. Franken and Hill are good examples.

What I'm saying is the right won't defend him because they don't see anything he did as an issue until it confronts their identity.

I've used Big Joe's.

It's not just how a company does the job right, but how they correct their mistakes. They messed up on a friend's house. They owned up to it and they did a terrific job of remediation of damage and went above and beyond to make it better than it was before. The friend recommended them to me AFTER the incident, so that's always a good sign. I used them and I too was more than happy with the results.
