Yes they were but I will say the George Clinton performance had my hearing muffled for about a day. I was right up at the stage with the speaker blaring lol.

Great pics. I didn't get to check it out this year unfortunately due in part to the heavy rain on Saturday but look forward to next year.

A lot of people were out there despite the rain but it would have been nice if we had the this weekend's weather last weekend.

Of all the coffee shops downtown, why anyone would choose to go to Starbucks is beyond me.

Yet, people will.

Yeah, I know. Still....

It honestly always bums me out a little to see something happening only to find out it's that block's third Starbucks vs at least something local. Even a local chain would be nice.

It is what it is.

The building needs to be torn down. Build a Starbucks with apartments on top. What a wasted opportunity. This would never happen in Charlotte or Raleigh. Drive thrus should be banned downtown.

Normally I would agree with this, but given the pace and quality of recent projects in downtown GSO, this may be a better outcome as a short-term solution. It's better than having one of our local "developers" squatting on the land for a decade.
