No big deal... we weren't ready to leave anyway. Before the evening was over, I had to help push two nearby unoccupied golf carts that were blocking people that wanted to leave. Now, I understand that parking is at a premium when there is a good band plus market night at the squares BUT what makes people think they can inconvenience others. Would they do the same thing if they were driving their cars???? Seems to me that the people that pull their carts up to the curb are being thoughtful and courteous by sharing their parking spot ( allowing four carts to park between the white lines instead of two). In the past, I couldn't understand why some of those people would't pull all the way up to the curb to share their parking spot....... NOW I KNOW... from now on, I'll be one of those people!!!!!!! P.S. If someone is willing to stay with their cart, I'd be more than happy to share MY parking space.
In case you missed it.

Anybody ever been blocked in?
