Oh, yeah ... nothing says "midtown", "ice skating" and/or "basketball" like having the Harlem Globetrotter bowling at an ice rink.

Really?

And has anything come from the comments of neighbors losing sleep and parking to the ice rink?

Do people move to mid-town for the quiet and excellent parking?

No, they don't move to Midtown for quiet and parking *but* when a half a blocks worth of parking gets taken by an ice rink that is only benefiting a few businesses then parking turns to crap as half a blok is gone and more people are being drawn into the area (read the comments on any article dealing with the rink and you'll see). As for quiet; I live on G street (for blocks away) and *I* can hear the damn music being played at the rink (audible from that distance is a violation of the law but, try to get the city to enforce it; I have).

Oh, and you missed the beginning of my post; what the hell does the Harlem Globetrotters have to do with Midtown, ice skating or bowling? I mean, really ...

I'm happy to see this article posted on Sac Press. I hadn't heard about this event anywhere else, and I think it's great exposure for both the Globetrotters and the ice rink. I'll probably walk down and take a look.
