No telling how the turnout is going to affect traffic on any of the three days, but rest assured that the most foolish thing you could try is to head down Main Street at the height of it all. The blocks in front of Town Hall promise to be spilling over with pedestrians and bicyclists. So if you do not have to put a motorized vehicle into that mix, then don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.<\/p>\n<p>Remember also, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a rescue squad and fire crew based on the street as well.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re coming from out of town, the best route (always) is to drop the car off at a park-and-ride and let the fine folks at Chapel Hill Transit chauffer you in, free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>You can check the schedules at the CHT website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.townofchapelhill.org\/transit\">www.townofchapelhill.org\/transit<\/a> for weekend times.<\/p>\n<p>As for us locals, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s try to be patient with our neighbors and our guests. After all, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re gathering in the name of \u00e2\u20ac\u201d respectively \u00e2\u20ac\u201d democracy, local agriculture, sharing with others and our fair municipality.<\/p>\n<p>So enjoy the heck out of the weekend. Listen to the music, get yourself some flowers or a tomato or five, give somebody something and celebrate your town in grand Carrboro style.<\/p>\n<p>Thank goodness the following weekend we can all just kick back and enjoy a nice quiet Mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day and UNC graduation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Might as well just bring a tent and a sleeping bag to the Town Commons next weekend.
