It's absolutely horrible for anyone who is trying to get somewhere or shop in the areas near the town squares. We went to a few when we first moved here but gave up when we had to wait in line forever to get crappy food and then eat sitting on the sidewalk because of the ignorant people who get there early and plop themselves down at the table that are meant for food service customers. People stay in those chairs for the entire day. The people running the food really need to police the eating areas.
I had an awful experience today just trying to get to Publix. Then I had to park a quarter of a mile away.
There will be plenty of people on the squares at five o'clock on holidays. The vendors will do fine without this silliness. In fact with the food trucks and booths I wonder if the restaurants lose some business.
I like parades when I was a little kid. Not so much any more.

I assume your rant was "tongue in cheek". If not, I suggest we also get rid of 60's music, especially Beatles. Too loud, hurts my ears, bad words, and too many accents.
