Any of you who live in the Greer area (Greenville, Spartanburg, assorted insignificant towns) probably know that we’re not only parade-happy, but we also love our families enough to have festivities to acknowledge that fact.
That’s right, the Greer Family Festival happens every year on Mother’s Day weekend. They blocked off streets this morning, which is the only reason I really dislike the idea. I mean, I know this is a big deal for people around here and all, but who was the mental deficient that decided it was no big deal to shut down half of the 3rd largest intersection in town… during morning rush hour?
I’m all for family togetherness and fun (as long as it doesn’t involve me), but at some point we have to actually take into consideration all those people who CAN’T take an entire Friday off to loaf around and do nothing, and who are trying to GET THROUGH TOWN TO GET TO WORK!
On the way home this evening, it was almost as bad as trying to get home Halloween night… Cars double parked, stopped in the middle of the road, people absolutely everywhere… I really can’t take all this community gathering stuff. If DSL didn’t have such strict distance requirements, I’d move out into the middle of nowhere so i didn’t have to deal with all this traffic crap. Wait, then I’d have to deal with the whole nature thing, and that’s even less me than the traffic..
Just focus on the coming summer months, Chris, and it’ll be alright. People will be out of town on vacation, schools will be out, and all that scantly-clad sweet high school ass will be getting in your way when you’re trying to get lunch every day…
Ahh yes… The sweet sweet ass-filled silver lining. It would appear that there is a god…
