The Saturday night block parties on Commodore Plaza have ended for awhile. Apparently the merchants and restaurant owners took a vote and it was decided that it wasn't working. They are going to regroup and start up again.
Each week, the restaurants (7 or 8) were donating $350.00 each and the BID was picking up the remainder. The cost for six month's worth of Saturday parties was about $92,000 to $95,000.
Not enough people were showing up to warrant the expense and work, it was sometimes taking three days a week out of the BID's work week to plan the block parties.
