Fall CMP Race & Bock Party, who is gonna be there, what are you bring? (Page 3 of 3)

Looks like my local business owner was right about the block party.  Take a look at the satellite view on Google maps of the proposed location in the town square.  That area looks to be at least half, if not more, of the area we have been alloted in the past. 

According to the Lemons email, the venue for the party changed due to road construction.  Seems like a legitimate excuse.  Anyway, party on grass is just as much fun and easier on the feet.  Embrace the change!  ;-)

"staging area at 601 Meeting St., Camden SC, across the street from the Revolutionary War Park (in previous years the staging area was AT the Revolutionary War Park--now it's across the street)."

PARADE

"*Due to construction, the Lemons parking area will not be directly on Broad St. as it has been in previous years--instead it'll be right on the town square and the surrounding access roads. Please bring a cardboard sheet or drip pan to catch leaks. "

I'm not sure what the "Town Square" of Camden is.  Google isn't helpful.  Oh well- we'll figure it out.

Take a look at this map.  Previously we were given the entire length, both sides and the middle, of the block on Broad Street (on the left of the image) as well as the next block after Broad St. crosses Rutledge.  Now see that little square in the center?  That's where we'll be this time.   It's no fault of Lemons of course, but it still sucks.

I checked out the map on google Earth.  Looks like there's room for a dozen or so car on each side of the square.  So that's 48 cars.  Then there's adjacent streets all around the perimeter, so another ~50 cars can fit there.  And a couple of other nearby streets should fit the rest.  It's a short walk down the alley to get to Broad street where the local businesses are; I bet some even have rear entrances that open to the park.  Having the big open square (where a band or whatever could set up) looks like fun.  I'm cautiously optimistic.
