Have we become accustomed to expecting too much? It is like feeding a bear. When you run out of food the bear gets real upset. You explain to the bear you can no longer support him and he must learn to fend for himself, he gets even more upset.
We have an advantage the bear does not have and it is called common sense with a dash of intelligence. We also understand the basics of supply and demand.
If enough people want a parade someone will see the advantage of supplying one. (I seem to remember the magic hand theory that moved all of those tomatoes to the city).
If your group wants a meeting site, check with some local restaurants. Just don't plan on taking your own food. There is always the possibility a rec center would suffice.
We are growing up, maturing or whatever. The introductory initial offering period is winding down. Our buy one get one half price coupons are expiring. The time is coming when we must fly solo.
Is the sky falling? Absolutely not! We are a community of intelligent adults. Our community has been years in the development and there is no reason to think it is not going to continue to improve.
