Paul, I wondered more about the Sunday impact on downtown churches, since so many downtown retail shops are closed on Sunday. Checked out four, learned they all contracted for off-street parking long before this went into effect. Two of them, Gethsemane Episcopal and St. Olaf Catholic Churches, use the same ramp.

About a 40 minute wait over lunch hour. This is a charter school that used to be a nursing home. It replaces the gym at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, and it's way too small to handle something like this. The room where we signed in and voted is a glorified double-classroom with barely enough room to move around, and even trickier for those with canes, walkers or wheelchairs.
