Adelman said he expects 3,000 parking spaces to be filled by Curb Your Car Day participants. As many as 10,000 people are expected to attend the celebration, Amarante said. Some residents say they don't believe the parking protest is the best way to contend with the rowdiness. Daron Tapscott, who lives on Goodwin Avenue and also served on the city committee, fears that residents' cars parked on the street will get sideswiped. Curb Your Car Day is the effort by a few residents who want to hurt business on the busiest day of the year, he said.
Some people enjoy complaining about something.
Rhone, who spent most of last St. Patrick's Day sequestered in her house, doesn't dispute that Curb Your Car Day is designed to discourage attendance at the celebration. St. Patrick's Day in Dallas Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Parade starts at Blackwell Street and ends at Yale Boulevard. Noon to 6 p.m. New rules this year prohibit coolers or containers, but alcohol will be available at the event.
