Our Balloon-man who blows up long thin balloons and ties them into little toys for the children. (Donations appreciated)

Our Jewelry man who sits in his homemade enclosed jewelry booth. The booth has windows on all sides which he opens as needed. He designed the booth to allow him to sit out the cooler weather as well as for security of the merchandise.

And the skateboarders come out in force, and must be kept in check by the police. The police will warn them a few times. If that doesn't work, a citation is issued.

And the college students start hanging out.

Eating outside

In the warmer weather, most area restaurants and food cart owners will cater to those who would rather eat outside. Restaurants will set an area outside their store with plastic furniture and rope of the area as their serving area. Food cart owners will serve to those who wish to be served quickly and take their food with them.
