They have High Street south of Long Street shut down for something. There was no cop with them. They didn't have good barriers. I don't know what is going on. I called special events and they don't know either. Parks and Rec approved a permit and didn't send it to special events. We had one earlier in the season near Civic Center. I called (name withheld). He said it might be something city council is doing, but there are supposed to be cops because (name withheld) handles the special duty. He's not sure. I didn't see any cops when I went through. Is it safe to shut down High Street using just plastic barricades?
