That's Ryan Stone and his band last night on Commodore Plaza for the final of five Summer Rendezvous Block parties. Hopefully the block parties will return soon. I know there is talk about it and there was a meeting last week to discuss just that.
Ryan was looking right at me, he then pointed and made some comments about me and the Grapevine, I was a bit embarrassed, the crowd laughed but I did appreciate the nice remarks.
On the other end of the street Nil Lara performed and of course lovely Daniela was in the center
of the block, dressed as a Geisha girl this week.
People are really getting into the groove of the block party and they just expect it now. I ran into Commissioner Marc Sarnoff last night, whose baby it is. He joked with me and asked me to be kind when I write about it, but to be honest, there is nothing to be unkind about. It's a great thing enjoyed by everyone.
It's nice seeing all the merchants and restaurant owners out and about on the street enjoying the music and art. After their performance, Ryan and his band went around looking at art and checking everything out. I like how people even know to bring their own beach chairs now. They are coming to the event prepared!
More familes were out this week, there were kids on bikes and Razor scooters. Here, AnnaMaria and Dominique look on as Maxie plays around on the street.
Every seat was taken at every restaurant, people were taking it all in, they were coming in droves down Main Highway to the party. The Art Stroll at Mayfair had a large crowd and there were people in between, all over the place.
There was more art at the block party this week and there seemed to be much more to do on the street this week. I honestly think people will feel a void next Saturday when it's not there. In the past five weeks, it has become a tradition for many of us.
