I live on Capitol Way and drive on it daily. I don't understand why the city allows people to place lawn chairs DAY's in advance of the parade. This started Wednesday. People placing chairs right off the road to reserve spots for what a PARADE. Please we have parades in Olympia all the time. Sure this one may be a little different then all the others but it's still a parade. What happened to waking up and making your way to a spot the day of the parade? I think this is a huge eyesore for almost a week to have lawn chairs, ribbons and cones laid out for several blocks on one of our busiest streets. I think the city next year should say no more and anybody that does place chairs out they should drive a huge truck down the street and pick up the chairs like garbage. Or better yet I think I'm going to take my couch downstairs and place it on the street. It's not a pretty couch. Actually it's pretty ugly. I could even let out the hidabed and reserve more spots using that. No...not really. I just think this should end this year. What are your thoughts?
