I grew up across the street from a park that held band concerts every Tuesday night on a stage very similar to the ones in the TV town squares. These were the old fashioned band concerts that played Sousa and other "concert band" numbers. People would pull their cars up onto the park lawn, and honk after every song. I remember the music vividly, sitting on my front steps. I also remember the smell of the popcorn from the vendor. Nothing like that around anymore, and it's a shame.
