Nearing the End of the Day on Car Free Sunday



Lots going on: music, food, entertainment but I didn't get to most of it. Day was sunny until dusk then clouded over.

Join others for (nearly) Wordless Wednesday here.

    1. The idea is certainly growing in popularity. What I like about it besides environmental benefits, is that it seems to bring the community together.
