The students just moved it over to Marshall Street which is on the next block. I'm sure the WRPS will nonetheless talk about how successful their efforts were at not allowing anyone to have fun.
I got the impression suppression was pretty successful in previous years. Although in 2020 Covid was new and everything had just shut down so most people might have just not come regardless.
Wait, it went to Marshall St., not the parallel Bricker Ave.? Interesting.
I really would like to see a more historical view on this. I distinctly remember Ezra Ave. parties/riots being an issue in the ’90s; then it disappeared for a while, then it was an issue again a few years ago when they tried the beer tent, then I thought it disappeared again, then now they are again trying a fairly severe suppression strategy.
Of course, in the ’90s it was still mostly houses; the larger apartment buildings are mostly more recent than that.
