I love the ammount of people the hoedown brings to the neighborhood. But they are the worst visitors we get. They trash the place more than any other visitors. They trash our parking lot, our sidewalks. They even trash the elevators in my apartment building. Friday night they threw bottles out our garage onto the street, and the pissed out of the garage onto people on the sidewalk below. They harass our neighrborhood homeless people. Trash the people mover and basically show no respect for anything down here. This crowd is worse than the fireworks crowd by far. And none of the other riverfront festivals bring this kind of crowd. It's too bad, because I really do love the numbers, and the general buzz of activity.
