2 ^^I lived on 10th St across from Piedmont Park. What a nightmare, I called APD and they told me to drive the wrong down one way streets and gave me an officer’s name and badge number if I got stopped.

They told me to just get out of there.

5 There actually were people tying to sue businesses in Galveston that just shut down during spring break, rather than deal with it. One of then turned his parking lot over to police and EMS as a staging area.
When you see a place moving outside vending machines inside, and rolling down the steel hurricane shutters, there's a problem.
