Why is it whenever our city has a run/race/parade/etc. event, they feel the need to do it Sunday morning? Always Sunday, never Saturday (let alone a weekday), and always right around 9am, when Hubby and I need to get to Church.
Did I mention that the run/race/parade/whatever always goes down the same section of street, which is our primary route to church? And if we want to bypass the event, we have to go winding through a tangled maze of residential one-way streets, only to discover that the street our church is on (a cross street) is also closed off to keep people off of the main street. So we end up having to cut through someone else's parking lot to get to our parking lot, or ask the very irritated-looking police officer if we can cut through the barricade because we need to go to church just twenty feet behind him. This is if we're lucky enough to be able to get out of our apartment's lot, because they often have to barricade our residential street too.
Oh, and the icing on this cake of irritation? Only once in the past three years has the city actually warned the residents that they were doing this.
Hey, City! With all the churches in this city for all the various denominations, why does it seem to surprise you that, hey, guess what! People want to go to church on Sunday! All I want is a little advance warning so we know where not to drive because we can't get through, and so we can leave with enough time to not miss the first 30+ minutes of the meeting.
