Just one streetlight, at the intersection of Main and Chestnut, clogs the city streets. And not everyone here, about 200 miles from the bustle of New York City, rallies around the chaotic weekend. It's a major inconvenience to the villagers who live here. We take great pride in maintaining that integrity. But during this weekend, the rules change dramatically.
Most people get into the spirit.
They'll be setting up lemonade stands, parking cars in their lawns. They accept that this is Cooperstown and that, once a year, this is going to happen.
