I agree. Street performers, and I do prefer that they are somewhat regulated, offers a great atmosphere to an area.
We spent several years in Key West and the nightly performers always drew a good crowd.
It’s not online yet, but the current issue of Street Sense has an interesting article discussing homeless musicians who are worried that the Metro program will detrimentally affect their revenues.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Its nice that Metro is settup up a formal program for this, but why so few dates? Why can’t we just allow performers, period? It would evolve organically and we’d have music EVERY day.
