If you don't live under a rock, you probably know that I live a few blocks from the infamous Sandusky trial. I'm not going to talk about the trial itself -- I don't know Sandusky or anything that anyone else wouldn't know who has general access to the media. However, I am going to comment on what it's like living near the courthouse during an event like this.
In a phrase, kind of annoying. I'm thrilled that the media is renting storefronts, drinking coffee, and eating in our restaurants. I wish the borough had done a better job of staging the satellite trucks around the courthouse, though. And each morning's commute is a little more challenging than is normal, due to the large number of people on the street.
Also happening this week: The Bellefonte Cruise. Which is a car show commemorating the tradition of cruising. Honestly, please remind me next year, if I consider staying home during this event that I should leave town. Again, I like the shot in the arm that it provides to the local economy. Quite frankly, though, I hate the exhaust, the crowds, the people stomping my flowers, revving engines, you name it. Next year I'm going away. Mark my words.
