so for the next week my neigh­bor­hood is being swarmed by tourists com­ing to eat sausage and buy shitty ital­ian trin­kets and lis­ten to live disco bands. the streets have been closed off to traf­fic and all the side­walks are cov­ered in ven­dors’ tents, and by evening, may­field is filled with peo­ple shoulder-to-shoulder. it’s really loud and there’s nowhere to park. for the next week.
