The street party is awesome. My wife and I went last year and had such a great time. I highly recommend it, it was not crowded, that may change this year.

I'm hoping I can convince the wife to go tonight.

The event tomorrow afternoon sounds interesting. You are chauffeured around town in a new Ford vehicle to various exhibits.

Does anyone know of this Five Point amphitheater they are talking bout?

Some of them look pretty cool. They're not all within the boundaries of the street party. Some are in Woodruff Park and on surrounding streets.

Yes, it is above the station on the Forsyth Street entrance. It is closed, last year Elevate got them to open it.
