Other than the fact that they're a f'ing nuisance that prevent you from driving where you want when you want - why? Got a significant funnel cake or sausage and peppers habit do we?

As far as I'm concerned anything that gets cars off the street is a good thing. However, 7th Heaven would be a much more valuable community event if it restricted itself to local interests, I don't see why the funnel cake crowd is even invited.

Unfortunately they don't so much get cars off the street as move them on to normally less traffic-filled blocks (ever notice how they're always on avenues with bus routes?).

I enjoyed the 5th Avenue fair more than 7th Heaven this year - better selection of beer (and food). And they even had miniature pony rides by J.J. Byrne Park. 8)
