So cool! April 17 was the kick off of the 2014 season and it was packed. The weather was luckily excellent and everyone is there to have a good time. Traffic is, as always, a little tricky, but luckily they have you park at the cultural arts center and city hall and you can either take the complimentary trolley around the corner or take a short walk(«Follow the music,» Trevor W said.) Once you get in, a good two blocks or so are closed off to drivers from Pasti’s to Nine Street Kitchen. This means you can get a drink in a to-go cup at one place… And walk to the next place with it. Through the street! Pretty badass if you ask me. Additionally, there’s a live band at many of these restaurants. Inside or out on the patio. As soon as one is out of earshot you start to hear the next one. Along with fun craziness at the businesses, there are tents from other local businesses and services. I saw a handful of animal rescues, chiropractors and even a church group but they’re few and far between and if you don’t want to stop, they don’t hassle you. Actual Alive After Five lasts until 9pm but businesses have normal hours including bars. So plan to stick around if you want. Every third Thursday, definitely check out Canton Street in Roswell for a fun evening!
