We purchased our first TV home in 2006. This winter is our ninth.
Yes, we have seen tremendous growth in the last 9 years.
Yes, there is more traffic and the Squares are over crowded----especially when they have special activities.
Yes, there could be better planning by those who plan such activities as the Chili cook off and garden show. Why not have them at separate squares?
TOO BIG IS RELATIVE. COMPARED TO WHAT? HAVE YOU BEEN TO CHICAGO WHEN THEY TURN THE CHICAGO RIVER GREEN AND CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK'S DAY? NOW THAT IS A CROWD!!
OP, your Thread is good discussion. I don't know we can solve the "too big" issue but I sincerely think there are small things that can be done to make "things" work a bit better given our 100,000 plus population during the winter months. Those that post on TOTV are pretty good at suggestions. I'm listening---hope the "planners" are too!
Mr. Morse, if you are listening, sunshine during January would help spread out the crowds a bit. Sir, see if you can do better next year. Thanks!
