Once again this town continues to amaze me more and more. It’s Lobster Fest, as I mentioned a few days ago.. Last year they blocked off Main Street in the downtown core, about 3 blocks worth, to allow people to wander freely about and to give the downtown merchants plenty of sidewalk space to put out their products to sell.

This year they again blocked off part of Main Street, but only 2 blocks.

The block we’re on? Excluded of course. See how much traffic we have in front of our store today?

Yeah, that’s good for business. A nice sunny Saturday with lots of events taking place downtown, and everyone on our block is dead. This should be one of my busiest days of the summer and there’s very little traffic because all the ‘excitement’ is 2 blocks down. Thanks Yarmouth planners, you’re such a great help.
