Well my neighbourhood is about to be invaded by rock fans headed towards a concert on the public lands turned private rental concert venue we call our Common. The geriatric wonders themselves, the Rolling Stones will be gathering moss in the rainy weather, protected under their multi million dollar stage, while their fans "from 8 to 80" catch their death a cold.
We're drinking on the deck, directly downstream from the sound. Inside if (when) it rains.
And we'll be drinking stuff that is good and have a choice. Not the shite beer already being advertised (is that legal?) by the assorted Keets vans and trucks parked on the grass all over the Common.
Wonder how long before the grass is back. At least the Keets trucks are green.
No one to date has been able to come up with one good reason why the geniuses at City Hall thought our Common would be a good place for the show. This seriously brings into question their competence to fulfill their duty to manage it for the good of all Nova Scotians, whose land it is "in common".
And best of all, we'll have all of 100 policemen to protect our property from 50,000 rioters if something goes wrong.
Now it probably will come off without a hitch, but really, the downside risk is too great. What were they thinking?
