Basically you've got two people arguing about what came first. A road closure or a festival.

One is saying that it would be stupid to organize a festival completely without first looking into road closures, and hence the festival came first.

The other is saying that because a ######ed Alderman was involved the fact that it would be stupid to just close a road for no reason is irrelevant and that the festival was dreamed up after the fact.

Neither will concede to the other, and neither can show any sort of proof, other than a few articles from way back that criticize said Alderman for proposing road closures.

I think that pretty much sums it up.

EDIT: Damn, I saw You Need A Thneed's post and I just had to get involved.
Sorry!
