Carfree Sundays, part II (or, Now this is more like it)

The sun did, indeed, shine on Columbia City today.

No cars allowed (except police cars, that is)

For a few minutes after I passed the barricade, I stayed on the sidewalk (30+ years of conditioning are hard to overcome)–until I realized I didn’t have to. What an exhilarating feeling to step off the curb and stroll down the middle of the street!

Hoops, hopscotch, and hula hoopin’:

Props to the excellent DJs, who quadrupled (at least) my enjoyment.

Folks clamoring (as usual) for undriver licenses:
