Quite frankly I think this location sucks. I don't know why they felt the need to move from 2nd/3rd and to such a terrible location on 5th. At least by Fountain Square on 5th it was ok but I detest this location personally.

Nah, 5th Street was always better. 3rd doesn't have shade or places to sit, so you're stuck with the official seating locations that are always full. On this span you have lots of hardscapes around the office buildings to sit and eat even if all of the official seating is taken. Plus shade from all the buildings. Including fountain square would be better, but I get why they don't want to stop streetcar operation for a festival. I think they should just expand to 6th as well and eliminate any over crowding concerns, and work with p&g to use their garden space officially.

I think they shouldn't stop streetcar service. Just do it like European festivals and let it run through it.

Maybe it will be better. I'll wait to see.
