I don't have anything against the people of Columbia Heights either, but remember that night the week before last when we had that incredible storm? I was trying to get home to Central from up there in Tornado Alley, needed gas in the worst way, and was trapped like a rat in a massive traffic snarl. I had no idea they were having a parade until I was in too deep to get out. It took me an hour and a half to get home from there because they didn't allow anyone to cross the parade route. A little break here and there can relieve lots of congestion. A lot of people come here from out of town, and may not know about these events, or be familiar with an alternate route. In my case, I felt it was a damned safety hazard as I looked at the green sky and the clowns blocking my way to a hasty retreat.(I have nothing against clowns either, so save your hate mail.)
