OPINION
Ciley: Reader regrets attending music festival
Posted
By Scott Ciley
I live in The Grand and am a little more to the younger side of the age range. I liked your article (“Encore, anyone?” Surprise Independent, April 12, 2023). I’m sad I didn’t attend now.
Here were my reasons for not going:
1) I thought it would be over-attended, and I didn’t want to be in a huge crowd.
2) We went to a baseball game I think Friday night. The parking for the game was being used and so it was moved across the street. The parking was so poorly managed and so poorly marked, I wasn’t eager to go back.
I’m an amputee, and we had a hard time finding the handicapped parking. When we did, it was pretty far away, but I could have made it.
I love our city and our police department.
We can do a better job of telling people what’s open and what’s closed and routing us to where we need to go.
