Judging from the appearance of this one guy near me holding a big video cam, I suspected he was Acorn. He would have been in trouble if he had let that slip.

I'm pretty sure Acorn is active in this city. I hope they don't come out to my neighborhood, as I consider it a criminal enterprise funded with government money.

Law enforcement consisted of a city employee who looked like some kind of manager with a business shirt and tie walking up and down trying to keep the 'bike lane' clear of people on foot. It was hopeless, so finally they announced that people should keep a fire lane clear in case there was a fire. That didn't work either.

Clearly the organizers underestimated the crowd they would get. There was no way to get in from the street. I walked almost a mile from where I parked, through Riverfront Park and across the river and ponds.

The space available was like a three pointed star or hub, pinched off by the street on the south, which forced people to go around the Opera House or come in the way I did.

Or law enforcement

Or DHS

Or Acorn
